Rickets!

TV and computer games blamed for return of rickets
Apparently.

No mention there of the whole 20th Century paranoia of Paedophiles? The on-going bizarre notion that any time a child is out of any parent or child minder's sight even for a moment - a paedophile will take the chance to ATTACK! So kiddies have to be driven to and from school every day - and then kept indoors at night. To keep them safe, safe, safe. All indoors - and consequently away from any direct sunlight.

Or that for a long time fear of the depleted ozone layer meant parents were advised to keep their precious bundles of joy out of the sun - or covered in inch-thick layers of sun block - for fear of getting skin CANCER!

Parents can't win.
