Yup! We are doing a huge disservice to our future generations. As technology continues to advance allowing us to have greater access to knowledge, connect with people all over the world, and provide entertainment at every single moment of the day…it has caused a huge issue for our youth. Our children are more overweight now than they ever were before. And if my predictions are correct…. (Dramatically Long Pause For Effect) it is only going to get worse.
