While certainly not the solution, it would at least give kids a structured activity time. Changes do need to be made in the home. I go crazy grocery shopping listening to kids scream about wanting something. Seriously, take control of your kids! Additionally, "junk" food is also cheaper and last longer than "healthy" food. I would assume that the majority of the US that is obese is also not so financially well off. I do know what happens when you assume, so I may be wrong.
