Lou,

I agree about the school foods. Clean 'em up!

I think PE should be back. It may not help those who are already fat, but think of it as an investment in those that aren't yet fat.

School food and PE can work hand in hand.

Related note: I heard that the author of The South Beach Diet is funding a school study in Florida to show that kids WILL eat healthy foods if they are available (and crap isn't). They are not on a South Beach diet, just one of healthy, unprocessed foods. I hope it works out and rolls out to other schools.

In England, Jamie Oliver is trying to persuade the govt. to clean up school foods, too. He's got a program on how to encourage your kid's school to clean up it's act.

I wonder if there are any programs like that here in the US. I would love to help with something like that for my kids' school.
