Agree with all that.

I let my offspring play on the consoles / computers but they also know they have to do physical activities as well.

I have to wonder what the strength to weight ratios would have been comparing kids from the 80's & 70's not just from the 90's. :-k

I think you can just take the British out of the title and keep it generalized.

Generalized to most of the western / modern world.

I didn't read but I agree. It's obvious.

I think we just need to look at the US and use them as our guide stick as to what might happen if we don't change things up!

Bring back national service!

Yeah bring back nation now we're too old to qualify :supz:

Pointless looking at the US because we are already there in our own way.
