I am noticing that schools are leaving out the physical education more and more. My kids have P.E one semester and not the other. So they don't get the exercise regular. I see it is also harder to keep the kids from staying away from the soda machines. Yes the schools turn them on in AM for short time and off till like 2:30 PM. School gets out at 3:30 PM. So what is the reason for them being there? Kids buy in AM and at end of day. So junk food is provided at school, home, stores every where. I was a kid myself. I don't blame them for wanting sweets.
I always thought prevention is better and cheaper than anthing after the fact.
