Money, well...spent

Laziness sets in during teen years

"One of the largest studies of its kind shows just how sluggish American children become once they hit the teen years: While 90 percent of 9-year-olds get a couple of hours of exercise most days, fewer than 3 percent of 15-year-olds do. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development funded the research, calling it one of the largest, most comprehensive studies of its kind to date. "

"The latest study...tracked about 1,000 U.S. children at various ages, from 2000 to 2006."

7 years to figure out teenagers are lazy? You gotta be shittin' me.

If you are one of the individuals who has helped fund or sent a special donation to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development...boy did you get screwed.

And if any of my tax money unknowingly went toward this "National Institute", I want a refund.
