I’ll come right out and say it: I have discovered a cure for childhood obesity.  But it’s not the kid’s meal equivalent of the Atkins or South Beach Diet.  Because serious problems require serious solutions, I suggest that we turn to Uganda and see how villagers power their cell phones, laptops, and televisions.  You see, American children are obese because they spend way too much time watching programs like “Pimp My Ride” and “My Super Sweet Sixteen,” while they chat on AIM and send text messages to their friends (And we wonder why they all have ADD!).  If we simply adopted the rural Ugandan model of energy production, we could still enjoy all the virtues of American culture—i.e. reality TV—while avoiding its vices, namely obesity.
