Hoopster Shaquille O'Neal hates the little fatties and wants to help. With reality show Shaq's Big Challenge, he's out to help over-weight kids drop excess pounds. Sound heart-warming and inspirational! What does he think the reason why obesity is such a problem with young Americans? Shaq, whose own body weight clocks in at 14 percent body fat, says:

First, only six percent of all schools in America have mandatory gym. When I was growing up, I changed schools 10 times, and they all had mandatory PE. Second, the food we eat is a problem. We're living in a fast-food society now. Third, kids aren't as active as they were when me and you were growing up. They have Sega, Nintendo, Atari. Video games aren't allowing kids to be as active as we were.
​
I agree. Kids aren't as active. But blaming Sega, Nintendo and Atari? With the Wii, gamers can actually work up a sweat. And I can't remember the last time a Sega or Atari game kept kids glued to their TV. So there. Brian Ashcraft
