Have you been to subway lately? Most times there is a line. Try going around lunch time! If this isn't an indicator of what Americans want, then what is? BTW, Subway has managed to remain a privately held company and is continuing to grow. If they were public, I'd invest in them in the blink of an eye.

There is no excuse for feeding yourself or your children unhealthy food. Whether it be lack of time or driving distances. They are nothing but excuses and rationalizations.

The cycle needs to stop with the parents...

...Gee, that got me going better than a cup of coffee.

All is fun in love and war. I'm thinking and trying to prove you wrong on the low fat wheat burger, but dangit, I just can't do it.

Just because subway lines are long doesn't mean anything. There are NUMEROUS unhealthy items on their menu. I don't like Subway, but I eat Quizno's, which is exactly the same thing in my opinion, and I know I'm far from the healthy side of their menu. Well, depends, anyone know if Batch 83 sauce on the Traditional sub is healthy?

Parents do need to stop and start alot. My kids (when I have some) WILL NOT own a video game system of any kind untill they can buy one themselves. They will also be put on a strict excercise regimen until they are old enough to move out. Simply put, I want my kids healthy, and if you start them young doing something, like a 2 mile run every morning, then they will continue doing it till they can't anymore. But if parents let their kids sit inside and play video games all day, they aren't getting any excercise to burn off those extra calories from unhealthy food.

I see there being two options, either kids need to eat healthier or they need to excercise. Currently, they do neither, so they can't even counterbalance doing one, which is what I currently do. I eat bad food probably 10 of the 21 meals a week, but I work out on a pretty much daily basis.

Time for a fillup. <<<---- Diet Coke in there. LOL

At least this has given me something to talk about at work. And FYI...I won't be a drill sergeant to my kids, but I will raise them to not mess up.
