Diet is a big part of that. Thanks to Michelle Obama, Alice Waters, Jamie Oliver and everyone who works to get children eating better -- real food, not processed chemicals.

The other day I saw an episode of Top Chef where the chefs took a taste test. Most of them only got a few right. The yoga-vegetarian did the best. That evening at the house they held their own junk food taste challenge. The two contestants did very well. Not only did they know one was a hamburger, they knew it was a Whopper.

Some years ago a news reporter asked a group of children what their favorite food was, and it shocked me that they specified brand names. It wasn't "I like pizza," it was "I like Domino's pizza." Not "I like fried chicken," "I like Kentucky Fried Chicken nuggets." Sad.
