Not a bad start. We know the majority of kids do not read books, most do not move as it may harm their screen time.

Why wouldn’t there be, as they are trying to sell a product? At the end of the day, it is up to the parent to decide if their children will to grow up overweight. Fast food, screens and not a whole lotta moving, is a recipe for disaster.
