get their lazy butts off the couch, and confine them to the out doors for a few hours each day, let them do out door sports and activities. Ban TV between certain hours of the day....

It is pretty sad when kids think their food comes from a supermarket instead of from the earth! We all need to be more in touch with nature- it feeds our souls. I never realized how much it does till I started my own vegetable garden last year. It's deeply satisfying! I was lucky enough to grow up in a town where our street was the last street before the bush. I could literally walk out of my backyard into the bush and loved it. Went blueberry picking, encountered bears, foxes- it was fab! (Of course, that was in the days we didn't lock our doors, either! Sigh!)
