Sadly, that's a big part of the problem. Recess time is being shortened to do "acutal" work. Physical education requirements are going south for the same reason. Then kids come home and sit in front of a TV/game console until bedtime in a lot of households. And they tend to eat sweets and chicken nuggets more often than "now and then," compounding the problem.
Alas. It's something that requires the parents to step in and do something, at least as much as is in their control. Not enough do that.
