[television is just wrong]

I agree, but it does still happen.

I wish more school districts would have the no soda and no vending machines policy mine does, particulary in the elementary and middle schools.

I also wish more would put back mandatory phsy ed and recess....the lack of physical activity, in addition to all the useless calories, is another major part of the problem, IMO.

I'm no expert, and don't have a lot of experience, as I only have one child who is not quite 7 who happens to be a little bit of a thing, but have noticed that the kids who are really active and like to run and jump and play outdoors are not the ones with the problems.......in other words I firmly believe that children should be allowed to be children.

BTW - I really like your screen name :)
