Feed them leaves and earthworms. Most kids when they get home still have junk food.
Poor/non-existent phys ed. standards and recources for it should be paramount. You can do both.
If your kids get fat it is because of you the parent.
It is none of the governments business.
Even when the "Government" is feeding them?

Kids are fat because of their parents and that is exactly why it is the government's business. Kids don't get to choose who their parents are so it is up to the state to protect them. Kids aren't property, they are a citizens with rights entitled to state protection.
There is something wrong if the government is feeding your kids. They didn't have to feed mine.
Then the state should remove them from the source of the abuse.
You do know that not everyone is like you and your kids.
Some people do need the government's help to feed their kids, and are able to feed them decent food with that help.
Nowhere in my post did I state that having government assistance means that there isn't something wrong.Yes I do. There are many conditions out there. All I said was there is something wrong if the Government is having to feed your kids. There is, you not being able to feed you kids is something wrong. You have to teach your kids proper eating habits and make then get off the couch.

Anyone with half a brain knows that the assistance is there to help those with something wrong.
My post had to do with you adding in that you didn't need help feeding your kids; together with other responses you've made gives the impression that your stance is one of "I don't/didn't need help, so no one else should either", also known as 'FYGM'.
If that isn't your stance, and not what you intended to convey, then it never should have been added.
As for healthy eating habits and lifestyles, eating actual healthy, decent food plays a major role.

We need to let the market decide whether children get hypertension and diabetes or not.
Food and nutrition directors at school districts nationwide say that their trash cans are overflowing while their cash register receipts are diminishing as children either toss out the healthier meals or opt to brown-bag it.
meeting these mandates has harmed the financial health of nearly 70% of school meal programs surveyed, with fewer than 3% reporting a financial benefit.
58% of respondents reported that student lunch participation declined under the new standards. Nearly 93% of those respondents cite “decreased student acceptance of meals” as a contributing factor to this decline. Districts with a low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals struggle the most with lunch participation; 72% of these districts reported a decline. Nationwide, US Department of Agriculture (USDA) data shows that more than a million fewer students choose school lunch each day under the new rules.
According to USDA, in Fiscal Year 2015 alone, schools must absorb $1.2 billion in added costs as a result of the standards.
At one typical high school in Montgomery County, for example, vending-machine revenue fell from $21,055 in fiscal 2005 to $4,289 in fiscal 2013, she said.
Thus, early experiences with nutritious foods and flavor variety may maximize the likelihood that, as children grow, they will choose a healthier diet because they like the tastes and variety of the foods it contains.
In support of this hypothesis, longitudinal studies have shown that food habits established during infancy track into childhood and adolescence (31–35) for both nutrient-dense and nutrient-poor foods (34). Such dietary patterns, which begin to be identified during childhood (36), are significant determinants of the quality of the adult diet (37, 38). The most apparent period of change in dietary patterns was evident during early childhood (35), with new foods more likely to be accepted when children are 2–3 y of age compared with older ages (31). After the age of 3–4 y, reported dietary patterns/food habits remained quite stable, further highlighting the importance of getting children on the right track from the initial stages of learning to eat (<3 y) (see also reference 33).
In October, the School Nutrition Association and the School Superintendents Association wrote a letter to Congress stating that school districts do not receive full reimbursement from the USDA for the increased costs associated with the new school meal standards.
strong baseline state laws were associated with within student BMI change and maintenance of overweight/obesity but not with incidence of overweight/obesity.
He's just another paid shit poster who really deserves no consideration or replies, unless you enjoy playing his trolling games like some of his contemporaries do--the other get-paid-to-shit-post trolls.
