Whatever you think about the obesity problem in this country, I can’t imagine anyone would want it for themselves. A survey some years ago asked obese people this simple question: If you could be given a million dollars or be made a normal weight, which would you choose? Well over 95% just wanted to be a normal weight and live a normal life. So maybe we have to go to an abnormal diet, because it’s been shown that kids eating school lunches have a far higher rate of obesity than kids that don’t. This kid is going to be a lethargic kid, he’s going to be a less attentive kid, and he’s going to be a less educated kid. And when the Obama Administration said that this is the civil rights issue of this generation’s education, they are so right. High sodium, high fat foods are so wrong. Just food for thought when you hear about the educational food fight. We think if he were around, John Belucci from Animal House would agree. |
