[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in a high poverty school and by 5th-6th grade, nearly every student is overweight. It's sad. Some of them stayed overweight as they grew but some of them were a normal weight and then just packed on the pounds.[/quote] Its all the cheap food loaded with unhealthy grains and sugar / high fructose corn syrup. Healthy food is expensive. [/quote] No it isn’t. Can we just stop this? It is a cultural shift to eat crap as the majority of your food intake, especially for low income. [/quote] Ingredients can be inexpensive. But there is time involved in making it into food. That is something the parents may lack. Also the possibility of living in food deserts. I remember my parents making a 45 min trip on the one day they both had off (one car only) so they could go to the nearest grocery store to get ingredients for food. [/quote]
