Explain, please, where I apologize, or express regret for a failure to be clear. Blaming children for their own obesity and poor diet may make sense to you, but not to me.

I am, btw, unlikely to accept criticism of the way I think and express myself from individuals unable to read, or understand the clear differences between hereditary/rare disorders and diet and lifestyle-induced health problems.

Read the data about who died during COVID and why. RFK jr has it right. Infants become addicted to screens because parents, in many cases, use phones as subsitutes for emotional engagement with their own kids.

Ask a teacher. I spent years in the classroom teaching the best and the brightest as well as folks with learning disorders. We are failing our children in the classroom and in our homes too often and in too many ways for me to enumerate here.

Ask yourself why so many around us, of all ages, are waddling through their days, all day, with a slurpy or "starbucks" in one hand and "smart" phone in the other. When was the last time you saw people of any age practicing wind sprints for fun and good health? We're raising a generation of young people, especially young women, overburdened with mental, physical, and emotional disorders in large part, because you and many others fail to grasp one basic concept.

We can't think our way into a better way of living, but we can live our way into a better way of thinking. Go for a long walk now, why don't you, and give the matter some thought. Thanks for your comment.
