"I know fat homeschoolers too. They were not raised and educated in the home from the beginning."

Ok, fine. Is your conclusion public school makes kids fat?

Just wondering.

Considering the poor quality food served in the school cafeterias and the lack of physical activity that public school provides, I'm sure it's a contributing factor. These kids are in school what? 5-6 hours a day mostly at desks. They should be moving more than that.

Do Government schools make kids fat?

Correlation is not necessarily causation.

It is merely my anecdotal observation that I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been in the home from the beginning.Actually,even this observation may be faulty. There may not even be a correlation.

I suspect that I have never met a fat homeschooler is due to the efficiency of homeschooling and the massive amount of large muscle play that homeschooled children enjoy. This and the fact that their mother is their only "cafeteria-worker".
