How are we supposed to help kids be healthy when normal kid things are being forbidden at the same time? These kids who can't run around and play tag will probably want to go inside and eat a donut, and I can't say I blame them.

First of all what we need to do is look at the garbage that is on the shelves of supermarkets. Not everyone can afford organic food. Next is the time it takes to prepare healthy meals. What I'm talking about is fresh steamed vegitables, not canned or frozen. Then lets put recess back in our school day. I remember going out to play in the school yard everyday after lunch. That was after we walked home for lunch and then back to school. Those were the days when mom was home and lunch was wating for you. Now most kids are lucky if they have 20 minutes to wolf down their lunch (great for digestion) usually processed meat, white bread, a sugery snack and milk loaded with hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics. I wonder how many kids would be off Ritalin and psychiatric drugs if they could just run around and get some exercise, and eat some nwholesome food. This is a really interesting article.
