(32,080 posts)All one has to do is look it the carts of one's fellow grocery shoppers to see how it's happening. Nothing but chicken nuggets, processed crap, breakfast cereals with more sugar in them than a bag of candy, junk food, sugary juices and soft drinks... Not a fruit or vegetable in sight, except maybe some corn or iceberg lettuce. Pair that with the lack of exercise, and it's no wonder more and more kids are obese and diabetic.
Personally, I don't have an issue with kids riding the school bus. I'd prefer they do that than have their parents drive them. The traffic in my town is a bloody nightmare when school starts and lets out. And, a lot of kids live too far away from school to walk. But, they should also bring back Phys. Ed., and there's plenty of time after school to go outside and play.
