Childhood Obesity -- Should it be a crime?

[firstdown]

I think that the public schools are now starting to realise that offering a more balanced lunch is not that hard to do but lets be real thats only on meal. I would say its what the children are eating before and after school which is probably more of the issue. Also the lack of exercise plays a bigger part than what they are eating everyday. I know when I was A kid when we got home we bolted to play out side until we where forced by our parents to come in and eat dinner and do our homework. That is another issue is the lack of having two parents raising their children. I just read yesterday that single family parents are costinfg this country like 100 billion per year because of the strains that they put on our social programs. I guess if you look at the big picture the lack of family structure is putting a strain on everyone.
