School-time Habits that lead to Weight Issues

Recently our supremely altrusistic legislation decided that ketchup is a vegetable.  Well heck, I'm nearly a vegan then!

Lunch Concerns - We are sending our children to school for 5 maybe 10 of their 21 meals for the week and what they are offering is leading to higher obesity levels.  Those who we have voted in to protect us are listening more to food industry lobbyists than to us or common sense.

Activity Concerns - With budgets getting tighter, the Arts and PE tend to be trimmed first.  We feed our children fattening foods are then don't offer to let them move and stay active.

New reasearch - Multiple reports suggest that obesity has tripled in the last couple of decades.  Also, learning is improved when children get activity.  What are we doing to the next generation.
