Going to the gym three times a week and shopping at Whole Foods or Wild Oats should keep weight in check. But that's the ideal situation and times are not kind to many. Multiple jobs or overworking the one job, plus the stress of keeping that job. It's not easy. I used to practically live in the gym when I was younger and now it's a trade off of family time. At least I get to work a sweat in the yard on weekends. I can understand how many can't find the time. I don't picture the majority as too lazy, that's an elitist attitude.
The Children, that's a different story. The parents need to fight the trend and be proactive in getting the kids outside. Saying that, group sports are expensive and time consuming. .
