Honey We're Killing the Kids!

Finally a reality TV show that is worth watching. TLC is doing a show based on childhood obesity titled Honey We're Killing the Kids!. As we are making breakthrough in many different areas of medicine, childhood obesity remains a big problem in the US. It is about time someone shine a spotlight on it. One family featured on the show was on a morning TV show this week. Both parents are overweight and are suffering medical conditions due to that themselves. I wonder why it takes a reality TV show for them to do something about their children being obese when they themselves have firsthand knowledge of the negative effects of being overweight. Sadly I know parents who are overweight and are raising obese kids myself. I hope that this would be a wait up call for all of them.
