A recent segment from CBS promoting a study that linked childhood obesity to climate change was widely hammered and the TV network was accused of spreading “propaganda.”
CBS Morning cited a study published in the journal Temperature. The study said that children are now 30% less aerobic fitness than their parents at the same age. The study’s author argued that warming temperatures are making children less active – thus making them more obese.
The author of the study claimed, “As the Earth’s warming continues to accelerate, children are set to bear the health risk brunt of rising global temperatures.”
The official Twitter account for CBS Mornings posted a video clip with the caption: “Today’s children are 30% less aerobically fit than their parents were at their age, a new study found. The study points to climate change and rising temperatures adversely affecting childhood obesity, as children spend less time exercising outdoors.”
Even one of the hosts of CBS Mornings called out the study for being severely flawed.
Host Nate Burleson conceded that children are less likely to go outside because of technology that allows them to “be social without having to go outside to be social.” However, he also stressed, “It has been a lot hotter and the weather has been crazy.”
FAT parents that do nothing have FAT kids lounging around in the Air Conditioning and addicted to Social Media and TV has little to do with Climate Change. People DON’T move they drag their asses to work and herd their Piglets to School come home feed them whatever is easy and cheap to slop on and they all settle down on their devices and their divided lives
