Again, as much I think we need to make sure kids are eating healthy foods, I'm not as concerned with the quantity as I am with the quality. On top of that, our biggest problem is that these kids don't get enough exercise. If they did, they would burn off all those calories and it wouldn't be a problem. I was in sports in high school, and I ate like a pig, consuming over 6000 calories per day. I weighed 120 lbs. I would eat a small breakfast in the morning, then I ate three school lunches per day at school. After practice, I would eat a good home cooked meal where I had seconds and many times third helpings of everything. Then around ten, I would head up to Wendy's and have Double, Fries, and a Frosty before heading home and going to bed.
The problem today is that kids eat as much as I ate, but instead of running 30 to 40 miles per week, or being involved in any sport where they would burn plenty of calories, a lot of them are at home sitting in front of the television playing video games.
Almost all the kids my children attend school with are VERY active...they are currently playing soccer, volleyball, football, and participating in cheering (they call it pep squad but it's cheering with acrobatics and flyers and the whole shebang).
I'm not sure what schools these are where the kids don't have any physical activity....and I'm curious about when we cured the student/child hunger problem that the left has been screeching about for YEARS. It appears to have completely been replaced by rampant obesity and a reversal so now the majority of American children actually are getting TOO MUCH to eat and it has become the job of the schools to diet the shit out of them while they are at school.
In which case one wonders why we have the lunch program at all?
Someone has already suggested we shouldn't have a lunch program, you ignored it to call me a nazi.
I dont remeber anyone suggesting children are gettig too much to eat,just that they are eating the wrong things. Are you denying that children have an obesity problem?
