A Future Educator

As a future educator, especially a Physical educator, we often talk about the problems of obesity in America. It is said now that this is the first generation that will not outlive their parents. Why? you may ask...it is because of the crummy eating patterns that are shown in America. Most kids eat school lunches here in Utah, because they are on welfare and cannot afford it. Utah County has a giant population of Hispanic children and most of those on welfare are hispanic. I read this article on Yahoo.com and was interested to see what this teacher was doing. Poor thing, I never really ate school food and now am glad that I was fortunate enough to have a financially stable family that could provide a sack lunch for me.

"Fed Up with School Lunch"

Another teacher from Japan also has a link that I enjoyed. He talks about the way that lunch is done with his students. Interesting to read both of these.
