    Default “British children now spend on average less time outdoors each day than prisoners"

    A tweet with a very short video that summarizes a story about the rapid decline in the number of hours Brit kids spend outdoors.

    Although it's focused on the U.K., I suspect the same holds true in America.

    Prisoners walk more than the average American.

    Two factoids which I can't verify but are probably true:

    1 in 3 Americans weighs as much as the other 2.
    Most people spend more time each day pooping than they do exercising.

    If you are leaning against a tree, that is good exercise.

    Parents who've never spent time outside themselves can't possibly encourage their children. Life is a series of choices and parents have chosen to downplay nature so that their kids can be proficient and popular on social media. Sad! Of course the poor kids don't know any better and will suffer later in life because of their sedentary lifestyle.

    Having recently pottytrained a toddler I can attest to the fact that pooping often qualifies as exercise.
    Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
