I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. Never.

Since homeschooling is so efficient and takes so little time, these children have plenty of time to play. Play means exercise which means calories burned and muscles built. Muscle also burns calories at a higher rate.

Also,,,the mom is home to supervise snacks and to provide nutritious meals. Who knows what institutionalized children get in their schools either from the cafeteria, vending machines, teachers, and other students.

Also, those kids in daycare after school are often pacified with food by their babysitters.

So what? I know of at least 6, and 2 of them are the brattiest bullies I have ever met and will not permit my daughter to associate with them. Of course the parents thrive on their "better than anyone" attitudes, and like me, the rest of the homschooling parents do not let their children associate with those 2.

My anecdotal experiences are just as valid as yours - whether you like it or not.

Brace yourself.

I agree with you on this one. Take the drink machines out of the school. I have students who have 2 20oz Mountain Dews for lunch.

I have. I've also met skinny children who have gone to public schools from the beginning. So what is your ridiculous point?
