Here's a plan:
Stop adding sugar to Campbell's tomato soup
Green Giant Peas
Tostitos salsa
and other popular family foods.
They used to taste fine without that sugar. So take it out, use good ingredients, and give the kids a break.
Part of the problem is not bad eating habits, it's what has happened to what used to be safe eating choices.
Give us back our old fashioned healthful name brand foods.
how about parents just feesding kids good food at home instead of using mcd's as a babysitter. and lets stop enabling morbidly obese people by granting them disabilitty. make them take action to be responsible for themselves. calling obesity a disease is like saying the same for cigarette smoking. make people learn to push away from the table. a majority of the obese children have obese parents and its learned that its ok and that the government will take care of yopu. also if anybody says anything about a person being too fat to fly its called discrimination.

Why doesn't Obama snub his trial lawyer friends so schools can re-institute meaningful PE without getting sued? Not going to happen.
Stop eating fast food every day folks..in the summer, kids should be active outside playing when weather allows. Walking, bike riding, playing ball, siwmming. Enroll them in some kind of summer activity. Do not allow tv on during the day. Good nutrition is important but nutrition without movement won't accomplish much.
