There isn't too much going on in my world, so I thought that I would talk a bit about a touchy subject, Chilhood Obesity. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the U.S. we have decided to refer to the growing number of obese people as the "Obesity Epidemic". What concerns me is the growing number of overweight and morbidly obese children in the states. According to NCHS statistics 17 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight. 13.2 % of 2-5 year olds ...

Unfortunately I was without BBC 3 in Jersey so I didn't get to see the rest of series one last week, though dad bragged that he had. And, to top it all off I didn't get to see this dalek that I'd heard about (It was in the Battle of the flowers but we didn't see it, we saw the moonlight ...
