View ARTISTSANDIE's food & exercise for this day
Our society choices have out our children in a poor health as well as ourselves. School lunches do not meet the nutrition basic guild line, saturated fat, high sugars and loaded with sodium. School food has turned into a fast food, poor nutrition for the children. We have allowed corporate America and the bottom line place our children in a daily risk situation. Children suffering high blood pressure, high blood fats and sedimentary life styles are compromised nutritionally and lost the motivation for psychical activity vanish, 7.5 hours on average a child spends before some type of screen. Programs like PE removed from schools or set as an elective. How sad our children will have a shorter life then we had. We are losing as a nation in regards to the obesity war. Our cost of health care are rising to the billions and in time those who are overweight my not just be asked to pay more in insurance premiums, but me be omitted from group plans altogether. We need to take action now as you can find a difference of life expectancy ranging more than twenty years less the previous generation. We are as a nation moving backwards, dying younger due to obesity epidemic. Understanding, education, incorporation of health programs and nutritionally sound lunch programs in schools are a start, yet the lobbing and and advertisement grows daily more erosive to the health of our nation.
