Children all learn what they know, and that includes knowledge on a proper diet, in school, so why are schools not helping enough in this matter? Why are schools hiding healthy eating habits behind bought pizzas and chips and other junk foods in the cafeteria?

Do students want to die young from linked diseases such as Diabetes type 2 and cardiovascular diseases? No. They would still have food choices, but they would be able to have better options to choose, ones where facts and statistics do not cause fear in parents, but happiness.

Maybe it 's presumptuous to think anyone would want to hear my story, but here goes: I started out a skinny little runt with chronic asthma. Back in the 50 's the way they treated asthma was by treating the symptoms. No one had come up with a way to prevent an attack. I got most of my attacks along with a cold or the flu. My family doctor back then convinced my mother that if I weighed more I 'd be healthier and able to stave off these colds and wouldn 't have as much trouble with my asthma. Back then we didn 't questions doctors so my mother started a campaign to "fatten" me up. It worked too well. I don 't blame her or my doctor since that was the thinking at the time and

Tommy Anderson, a pudgy young boy, casually walked home from school. As he rounded a corner, a large billboard with four obese children staring down at him caught his attention. The words “Fat kids become fat adults” written in bold text near the bottom gripped him tightly. Tommy glanced down at his own, bulging stomach; shame oozed its way into his body.
