The link to Jamie’s School Dinners was good info to share. I’m glad to see some constuctive advice on this topic – there are some people who say “well, there are so many fat kids these days, and there’s nothing I can do about it” and basically sit on their hands rather than take action.
What do the rest of you do to help your kids stay active and healthy? We always had meals together when I was growing up – my sister still does and her kids have no weight problems, but some parents think it’s OK to let junior eat whatever he wants in front of the TV, and then they are surprised when junior turns jumbo. They’re the ones who think it’s not “their” problem and would rather blame society than take responsibility.
Frighteningly similar to the toxic loan folk who would rather blame their mortgage broker than themselves for getting in over their heads.
