[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sport is a priority, because a lifelong habit of regular exercise is so important for health.

Then math, because a strong foundation in elementary school math is essential for getting through life.[/quote]

And then they end up obese adults I wonder wgy [/quote]

People think childhood athletics is like a vaccine against adult weight gain. It's not. A lot of overweight adults are surprisingly active and spry for their age, but they also like donuts and pizza too much, so they don't stay slim. If you want your kids to be slim their whole lives, you also need to indoctrinate them about diet from an early age. And even that does not always work, people get to a certain age and they stop caring, no matter how deep the conditioning was. The best you can hope for is that they are slim and attractive in their 20s and 30s when they need to find a spouse.[/quote]

Couldn’t disagree more. Getting movement and fostering a love of activity is more important than “indoctrinating about diet”.[/quote]

Diet and establishing healthy eating habits are much more important than organized sports long term. And people who over-schedule their kids in lots of activities will never admit how much junk food and fast food they have to eat out of convenience. "My kids are healthy because they are in 1-2 sports per season," she said while eating Chipotle between games. [/quote]

Chipotle is hardly the worst food possible. Your point falls flat.[/quote]
