The real peoblem being overlooked - about children in public schools - is not that they are hungry. <br> <br> It is that the schools no longer require them to exercise. They don't even require them to take PE. When I was in school, we were required to take PE and exercise each day. There was even a presidential exercise program.<br> <br> Today, kids don't have to take physical education each quarter. They also have soft drinks available via vending machines and some schools even have a fast food restaurant inside the cafeteria. <br> <br> So the kids don't exercise and they have fast food for lunch, and a large percentage of them are on antidepresants and/or ADD drugs. There are so many fat kids - and people wonder why.<br> <br> It really should be that kids are getting a better education than in years past. That is not the case. In years past, education included teaching kids to take care of their bodies via exercise. I was mostly educated in public schools - but they were much better back then. <br> <br> Schools now-a-days are breeding grounds for obesity and drug use. <br> <br> As Neal says correctly, "Sending your child to a public school is child abuse".
