[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's great. So many children just don't understand that weight is related to unhealthy food and overeating. They just like to eat. If we're teaching PE in school, why isn't nutrition and weight also in the curriculum? [/quote] Yes, it's important for kids to learn about nutrition The focus, however, should be on overall health, not weight. Even skinny kids can have terrible, unhealthy eating habits & some active kids with good eating habits weigh more due to genetics/bone structure. Besides, between everything out there in the media (diet ads everywhere, magazine covers at the supermarket, etc) & what they overhear from adults, particularly their own &/or their friends' mothers, I'm sure the vast majority of kids, even those who don't watch tv, are well aware that what they eat affects what they weigh well before they even reach middle school.[/quote]
