It is great that they want the kids to eat healthy but what about exercise? Every school should have a gym teacher without using a teacher unit, same goes with art, music, library and technology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462801295862514645.post-83740028006630441812010-02-11T09:37:49.542-05:002010-02-11T09:37:49.542-05:00Does anyone have an opinion about this post? It seems like an extremely inportant issue to be discussed. Here is a chance for parents and teachers to voice their opinions on this growing problem with children!Inquisitivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462801295862514645.post-7276807134745858412010-02-09T21:06:04.254-05:002010-02-09T21:06:04.254-05:00I'm sorry but listing calories on a beverage is not going to have any impact on kid's obesity problems. Obviously they would not be obese if they were counting calories. The real responsibility begins at home with the parents in providing healthy meals, limiting snacks, and getting their children motivated besides sitting to either watch tv or playing video games. Absolutely the schools can help also by providing gym classes more than once a week. It doesn't have to be intense just get the kids moving. No way do you want these kids to feel like failures or laughed at. Do things that everyone can do together and be praised for. I like Mrs. Obama's slogan Let's Move,but I don't think it means putting labels on beverages announcing the calories.Inquisitivenoreply@blogger.com
