Beginning of Rant
Have you ever heard of getting a cookie when you learn to count to 100, or when you complete your homework assignments? This is what is happening at the school my daughter is going to. They have a horrible breakfast menu, and yet, they continue to give nothing but sugar to the youngest kids for ‘work well done’.
This will eventually lead to increased longing for sugar by the kids, and will also eventually given them possible reception of Diabetes Type II.
It’s no wonder why Men’s Health is trying to find schools to retrofit for healthier activities. It’s because they see all the same crap that I do. The school has sausage pizza for breakfast on their menu for heaven’s sake (I took my dfaughter to school one day)!
It was stated by the US government that we should be working to be thin (or at least moderately fit) by the year 2010. I can’t recall the exact page, but it was on CNN a few years back.
When you have the schools of young kids giving them stuff like that, it becomes a perpetual cycle. Our daughter does not eat the good stuff that we give her, like small cuts of meat, and green beans, or salad with chicken. She gets what she wants at school: sugar.
She asks us for nothing but sugar laden garbage when she gets home. We tell her that we are giving her good food, and yet, she eats hardly anything. She says that her stomach hurts, and eats very little, but within 15 minutes, she asks for something sweet and sugary.
We tell her to eat her dinner first, but she whines and acts like we are not being fair to her, because she can’t get the sweet stuff. How sad, she may get diabetes later in life, because of the neglegen t attitude the school district has.
And then there will be another generation of sick people to treat, but I guess that is alright for the US government. Whatever keeps the money coming in. Just remember… yiou are only worth 255 dollars in death benefits to the US. Meanwhile you slave paying taxes for those places that have been negligent of you in the first place.
