I live very close to this and know a few kids that go there. It really has helped the school.

My friend attends Weymouth High School. She eats milk, pizza, cheez-its, and a lemonade made from concentrate everyday. On select days, she gets a large brownie, cookies, or both from the school's bakery.

What world are we living in? All of that food on a daily basis is trash.

I look at this way if you can get away with it eat what you want while you can. I personally don't find health food very tasty. Is it really healthy since vegetables are covered in chemicals, and genetically modified? Why does the government pretend like they care all of a sudden when people have been large for many years. Meds can also cause people to pack on weight, and if kids are taking pills because people would rather throw them a pill than show them love that starts bad habits as well.

My daughter doesn't like what they serve at school most of the time she just waits until she gets home to eat. She says they mix weird food together, and they eat foods like asian rice that she doesn't eat at home. She said it smells bad. Our family can eat anything without gaining weight. I have been eating junk for years, and after three kids I'm still 98 pounds. It is also genetics as being a factor so I don't judge people.

Ok well not everyone is like that.

Second, eating a healthy diet is NOT just about weight. It plays a part in everything else.

[Retro80Lady30]

@RingneckDoveFan True, but it is hard to change from food your used to eating. It is like telling a person who eats to much to eat little. It is more than just going to a doctor it is also spiritual why they look for food to have pleasure instead of what matters most in life. Having faith in God helps people to keep from eating to much. As for eating things that can cause you to gain weight if our health was bad of course we would quit. There are lists of things not to eat even in Bible.

I think the problem isn't what schools provide the main problem is what parents feed their children at home.

A 5 year old doesn't know what a pop-tart is ..or what's junk food..guess who buys it for them?

[midwest26]

If parents are going to feed their kids junk at home than this isn't going to matter.

[Retro80Lady30]

@midwest26 You are right why can't people seem to figure this out. The reason why some parents buy the junk food which I don't think is that bad is because it is cheaper. People eat what they can afford as well. This is why being judgemental only makes people look bad. Some parents don't have a choice in what they purchase or the time it takes to make long meals with jobs, and multiple children.

@Retro80Lady30 If it isn't one of your priorities to be healthy or to feed your kids healthy food, then I don't know what is.

Yikes !

This is good stuff. Please share this with any teacher you know. We need to implement a nutrition program like this as soon as possible.

The daughter of a friend of mine took the video to the principal of her high school. After many weeks and many inquiries, the teaches there still have not seen this video.

The information is there. Many people, caught in old habits, don't want o hear it.

[jamisonmedia]

It's amazing that every school district in the country is not doing a nutrition program like this. It just makes common sense that good nutrition will help students in their studies as well as behavior.

I was thinking the same thing when I posted these videos. But, you can bring people to the video or the video to the people but you can't make 'em watch it! lol
