I agree. Kids dont play outside enough any more.

Beside that , kids arent getting fat from what they eat in school. They are getting fat from what they eat at home.

What about the kids who can eat “junk” and not get fat? They get “punished” too? Heck, I pretty much lived on either processed cheese steaks or 2 of those little rectangle pizzas, plus a bag or two of cheese-doodles or Tastycakes for lunch every day and I was built like a stick-figure all thru’ school (much to my dismay, considering I got called Flatsy-Patsy more often then I care to admit). But yep, I also played outside in all kinds of weather, swam all summer and walked a mile+ to and from school every day until high school. You want kids to not get fat? Educate them on proper exercise and nutrition, stop with the namby-pamby self-esteem crap and if they live in places that aren’t safe to play outside, do something!! Or how about buying them all a Wii-Fit or somesuch? Use some of that” “Obama Stash”, eh?
