Yep. That's why when I watch my nephews everyweekend, I will take them to McD's or where ever they want, but they get thier ass outside for a few hours. Its not just the happy meals that have toys making the kids fat alone, its parents not motivating or making thier kids active. My littlest bro in law who is 10, litterally plays video games for about 8 hours a day during the week (along with going to school) and about 14 hours on weekends. and his mother lets it happen. I try to get him to be active and play outside with him, but it's a futile effort.
