问题     In a new campaign against obesity(肥胖), the British government issued guidelines on Monday saying that children under the age of 5—including those who can’t even walk yet—should exercise every day.
    In its first such guidelines for children that young, the health department said kids under 5 who can walk should be physically active for at least three hours a day. The three hours of activity should be spread throughout the day. Officials said the children’s daily dose of exercise is likely to be met simply through playing but could also include activities such as walking to school.
    For babies who can’t walk yet, the government said physical activity should be encouraged from birth, including infants playing on their stomachs or having swimming sessions with their parents. The government said children’s individual physical and mental abilities should be considered when interpreting the advice.
    "It’s vital that parents introduce children to fun and physically active entertainment to help prevent them becoming obese children, who are likely to become obese adults at risk of heart disease, diabetes(糖尿病)and some cancers, " Maura Gillespie, head of policy and advocacy at the British Heart Foundation, said in a statement.
    According to a 2008 health survey that used devices to measure how much people actually exercised, officials found only about five percent of Britons meet the government’s minimum physical activity advice—about 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise every week, including some every day. For children aged 5 to 18, Britain recommends at least one hour of exercise, but that should include intensive activities to strengthen muscles and bones.
    In the U. S. , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises children and teenagers to get about one hour or more of physical activity every day. According to the Institute of Medicine, an independent organization in Washington, D.C., toddlers(初学走路的孩子)should get at least 15 minutes of exercise for every hour they spend in child care. [br] What do we learn about the current situation in the U. S. ?
选项 A、Obesity has nothing to do with the amount of exercises taken.
