The study’s author argued that warming temperatures are making children less active – thus making them more obese.
Horse*!@#! kids are fatter because of video games, and phones, too many sit on their asses and chow while playing games and talking on their phones and game consoles. This has been trending for a long time, before covid lockdowns. Fewer kids are involved in sports playing games outside or riding their bikes around., now the kids that do get out on bike are on E-bikes, even skateboards are few and far between. America has been breeding marshmallows for decades and it has squat to do with warmer weather.
Kids used to go out and play in heat all the time, when I was a kid the only time we stopped playing in summer was to take a break in the shade or if our moms made us go in. It used to be too boring to stay inside, now kids don't need physical interaction to play a game because everything is done on the phone or internet. I'm thankful my daughter and SIL have kept my grandson active in sports to counter balance the time spent playing games on the phone.
