Childhood obesity

Anna said:
I say it's more or less the parents job to know what the kids are eating. I also think PE being banned in schools is dumb and should be a required no matter what grade. Although at the school I went to, you were lucky to even get out of PE unless you were in Work Study. But it's all on the child from there what they eat

I think it's stupid to, Our PE is compulsary so we have no choice but to do 1 hour a week of it, But i'm rather slim so i don't have to worry about it. I think that schools should be activating kids minds into WANTING to do PE (Physical education). So basically, Childhood obesity is a problem and whoever is taking care of them AT THAT MOMENT OF TIME should be trying to keep them ever fit. IMO.
 
PE is only maybe 30 or 40 minutes physical activity (at least around here). It wouldn't make a difference if it were banned or not. If a kids diet is bad, they will be overweight.
 
Kids should really consider balancing food with exercise. Exercising can be fun when you're doing it with a group of people or with family.



As for removal of PE in school, I wish they did that when I was in high school. lmao. It was horrible.

To graduate, you need to pass it once. Most people take it in 10. I actually didn't think it was too bad. Grade 12's went rafting, and skiing in the Rocky Mountains.

Yeah well I never liked running and having to go through PE was just horrible. I'd rather write an essay than running. I just love jotting down what I have in mind.
