Why Johnny is Fat


It's bad enough that little Johnny has sneakers with built-in wheels so he doesn't have to walk completely across the mall on his way to food court to purchase fried cheese sticks, he can now cruise around the neighborhood on an electric skateboard. This latest fitness trend is brought to you by the fine folks at Exkate.

Fitness? Seriously. This was on display at the Super Show, the annual exhibition-celebration of the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association held early this year in Orlando, Florida.

If this is what passes for fitness these days, you can bet that current obesity rates in our children will continue to rise.
