Whoever thinks this idea is good is stupid, whole thing is a waste of money

Schools need to serve healthier food for fuck sakes its that simple

[corunguneee]

Why not use the grant money to not buy expensive equipment and actually give it to these impoverished school in poor areas to improve.

What a waste of money and time, how about eat right and exercise. This is technology gone OVERBOARD.

I wouldn't let them do that to my child.

But how much are they crapping?

I honestly can't tell if the government is really this stupid, or if they have a grand scheme of controlling the American people. Hmmm...

[Overfl00d]

This is why I hate liberals. Instead of trying to fix the problem, they just take before and after pics of their food... wtf!

PRETTY STUPID PROJECT.... money could be spend on more important things than this shit

[troweltheory]

@uploadanvideos yeah and wtf are their parents supposed to do? they are poor. the food those kids eat is provided by the state through free or reduced lunch programs. wanna know why their is so much obesity and diabetes in poor neighborhoods? because its cheaper and faster to buy a $1 whopper than a vegetable medley. this policing of children program would never happen in a wealthy white school, where the kids are stuffing their faces with doritos even though they can afford better options

[uploadanvideos]

You all did see the part where this is to inform their PARENTS of what the kids are eating, not some secret UN Illuminati group, right?

When I attended public elementary school in Texas, there were maybe one or two fat kids in our entire grade level. But we had both P.E. _and_ recess periods, no sugar drinks, and no cameras.

Today I live in San Antonio, and damn near every kid I see is a fatass. When the local school lets out, it's a fucking herd of greasy little piglets. What used to be called "adult-onset diabetes" is now instead called "type 2", because most of them have it by about age 10.
