<p>Offer healthful food Oversized portions and the increased consumption
of sugar-sweetened drinks have been linked to rising obesity
rates. Schools can support healthful choices by restricting the sales
of food and beverages that are high in fat and sugar. Emerging
evidence shows schools can offer more healthy foods in their vending
machines without losing revenue.</p>

<p>Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the United States. According
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around 12.5 million
children and teens are obese. Obesity is caused by several factors,
including poor diet. Children spend a lot of time eating snacks, lunch
and breakfast from the school cafeteria. Being educated in childhood
obesity will assure your child gets the most nutrients out of his
elementary school cafeteria food.</p>

<p>The kid that assaulted the teacher looks to be as big as I was at my heaviest point. If you look around at the other kids in the classroom, you’ll see that there are other overweight and obese kids there. I was somewhat shocked to see how big the kids in some classrooms are. When I was in high-school most kids were pretty skinny.</p>
