Maybe making food stamps more like WIC, where the coupons are good for certain items - I believe in some places fresh fruits and veggies are something that's provided. <br /><br />I don't think it would help too much though, really. Working with kids, I've found that I have very very few overweight children in my program, and only one that would be termed obese. But, I think the reason is that many of my children have been in childcare all their lives and as a result, spend a lot more time than the average kid *gasp* PLAYING in ways that doesn't involve electronic media. <br /><br />Healthier food is a start, but I don't really see a dent being made unless phyiscal activity is added.

(thankfully he at least agrees with me on this subject, or else i think my brain would spontaneously combust.) i wonder when these politicians will wake up and realize that the most obese areas of the country also happen to be some of the most rural, racially divided, and poor. i wish they would pay me to analyze this mess...i could have told them that years ago. we should open up a government consulting firm :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
