What I mean is, health eating education is not coming to many children at home, so I think the schools need to step up. I am not saying overweight kids should be expelled, but I think there are ways to counsel kids into better habits.
Where I live in recent years the corporate sponsored football fields are being rejected as usually the contract means putting Pepsi machines in high schools. In recent years these are being tossed out of schools and replaced with healthier drinks. More things like this need to happen.
