In high school I weighed 128 pounds. I probably ate 2500-3000 calories per day, but I excercised, ran around, rode my skateboard and all that. Obesity comes not from eating too many calories, but by not burning the calories you take in. Supersizing is fine, but you better go outside and play and run around, play tag, ride your bike for 3 or 4 hours per day. dont sit at home and watch TV or play x-box all day.
Is new school lunch guidelines an example of govt gone wild?

Quote from nutmeg:
Are you aware of what passes for gym class these days? Zip for physical actvity for the fatties in school.
Secondly and this is a biggie (yes its a fucking pun) kids buff up, get fat put on the pounds for protection against other big ass mutha fuckes in the school. If you have seniors wiehgin in 275 lbs and you want to walk around school at 180 lbs you are a target. Kids whoe get victimized over eat due to trauma.
If we went back to having an actual gym class, and recess for younger kids, much of the obesity problem could be solved. Not all, and serving better food that may be paid for by taxpayers makes some sense. Much like not allowing food stamps to be used to buy alcohol.
Liberals sued to have recess banned in many schools. Horrible things were happening, like-
1) Kids picking other kids to be on their team (libs felt the fat slow kids were being singled out for being fat and slow)
2) Teams were picked and one team WON the game (Libs thought everyone should be winners)
3) Worst of all, some kids fell down and got boo-boo's (libs were horrified that their children were getting bumps and bruises playing combative savage sports like kickball)
FUCK YOU PUSSY LIBERAL CUNTS.
Sports should be played with winners and losers.
Schools should have recess, perhaps two in some cases.
Schools should have nurses if kids fall and get hurt.
Some of that would help the fat kids get in better shape and get picked for the teams. Seems simple enough. Not always black and white IMO.
Not exactly. The problem is that no one else is taking any initiative to address the problem. Meanwhile, the problem is getting worse.

It's a good idea. And it's good that someone finally gives enough of a damn to do something about it. Sure as hell talk alone hasn't changed anything.
