I also think this has to do with the lack of workers. No one does Manuel labor anymore as well as their own home work. Everyone sits at a desk all day and does nothing. Back in the day when we made our own steel everyone worked at steel mills and coke plants. Manual labor was what out fathers and grandfathers did for a living. Everyone goes to college and works at a desk.

Between this and hundreds of channels of television catering to the most specific of tastes (or lack of tastes) people just don't move much any more. Throw convenient, calorie dense foods on top of that and we have the disaster we are currently in.

I wish they taught nutrition in schools. Everyone blames a lack of PE, but studies show that isn't enough exercise to counteract the high calorie diets kids are eating.

I love my PS3, but playing doesn't cut into my gym time. No way. You are totally right in that it isn't just TV it is all forms of entertainment. Kids watch as much YouTube as they do TV. It is truly wonderful how much entertainment is provided by technology but it really is the opiate of the masses.
