My PE class was almost the same -- we only had team sports like softball, and I being the short fat kid, was picked last, if at all. So I derived very little physical activity from PE.

I'm fat because I have been irresponsible. The same applies to just about every other fat person. In the case of the children, you can rest some of the blame perhaps on the parents not providing the right food or encouraging their children to exercise. But no, being fat is not a school problem, not a societal problem, not a government problem.

I believe more than jsut some of the blame is on the parents, I place the majority of the blame there. not all, but the lion's share.

But no, being fat is not a school problem, not a societal problem, not a government problem.

We are in total agreement there.

Like Bill Gates says: Our feel-good politically correct liberals(my term) have created a generation of kids with no concept ofreality, personal responsibility and are set up for failure. Democratic continue to think that government knows best.
