Fat Kids on Motorized Tricycles

What is it exactly about Americans that allows things like this to enter the marketplace? Or worse yet, remain there?

Over the past couple of days I've seen a fat kid in the local subdivision rolling around on a tricycle frame with some kind of motor powering the back 2 wheels. Yes folks, that's just what this country needs - another lazy brat who will no doubt grow up to be a drag on Medicare (if it's still around in another 50 years, which is a speculative assertion) and society in general.

This is not a good thing!
