Deer dook fans,

adopted a lack of common sense and decency, which you see in most venues...including here on TigerNet. Being in a faceless crowd or under the guise of anonymity only serves to embolden crass behavior. I'm afraid those attitudes have, also, crossed generational lines; thus, why should we expect our young to behave as ladies and gentlemen?

There is no substitute for each individual asking himself: "Would I make the same remarks to this individual face-to-face?" And that, my good friend GWP, is precisely why I don't like to bash folks publicly or in venues such as TNet, other than the occasional good-natured ribbing clearly understood with choice of words and the good, ole "LOL."

recent upswing in the concern over childhood obesity.

some fun facts from the CDC:

Childhood Obesity Facts

Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years.1, 2
The percentage of children aged 6–11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2010. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12–19 years who were obese increased from 5% to 18% over the same period.1, 2
In 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.1
Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these factors.3 Obesity is defined as having excess body fat.4
Overweight and obesity are the result of “caloric imbalance”—too few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed—and are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors.5,6
