Runners World reports today on a company that is selling cute, plastic gym equipment for kids. Apparently, they are “looking to capitalise on parental fears that playing computer games produces young couch potatoes.”

You know what produces “young couch potatoes” and fat kids?  Being so terrified of letting your kid (gasp! shock! horror!) go play outside in the sunshine with scary stuff like neighbors and dogs where they might meet Mormons or break a bone or get exposed to cancer-causing UV rays.

For the sake of kids everywhere, I say “SUCK IT UP!”  Hamster wheels for toddlers in “creativity-stimulating” primary colors are not the answer.
