Have they nothing better to do?

I had cupcakes and birthday cakes all through school, and very rarely died.

Sheesh.....I echo your thought there Chuck.....have they nothing better to do?

We keep criminalizing the symptoms as we spread the disease in this country. Ugh. Let the kids eat the sweets. The problem is that they need to become more active and get off the couch playing video games and watching mindless television. Also, cutting out some of the fast food would help.

I'm not sure I even want to respond to this. Good grief. The schools aren't making kids fat. The schools aren't going to prevent kids from getting fat. The school board oughta focus on EDUCATING the kids and let their damned parents figure out how to keep them slim.

Criminy.

So there is no difference between home-made deserts (cake, cupcakes, etc.) and those artificial, petroleum-product based, vending machine dispensed, artificially sweetened, high-caloric FAT loaded Twinkies?

Or maybe the artificially flavoured, roasted potatoe slices?

Or the deep-fat fried, highly salted bacon rinds?

Just get rid of the bloody vending machines and half the problem will be over. I want to send my kids to SCHOOL... not to the "CONVENIENCE STORE"!

(same problems in Canada... the vending companies actually subsidize education by "renting" space from the school boards!)
