WHEN is this Government and parents going to realise that it is not just what children eat that makes them fat, it is total lack of exercise.
They don't play in the street like we used to, out in the fresh air playing rounders, skipping ropes, hopscotch, marbles, cart wheels up the wall etc.
They don't walk to school or anywhere if they can help it. Most sit in front of the TV or computer.
Unless they are made to do more physically the body is bound to suffer.
A good diet is not enough on its own so let's have less lazy children and more alive ones. If the body is healthy then the mind will work better.
GLADYS ROBINSON (Mrs), Edge End, Great Harwood.
