getting nutritional advice early on helps alot. my parents have shitty habits when it comes to food. they make so much food, our fridge is always at a 50% level of leftovers. i had to learn how to eat better in the navy and marine corps. at this moment, i would say fast food is the biggest concern right now. kids have money these days, and they like to hang out with friends at the mall and eat at mcdonalds or go to restraunts. home cooked meals are better, but not by much if your parents make bad food choices too. its just like education, you need to learn how to eat well and eat enough for you to get by. banning vending machines wont do much, if kids want soda, theyll either go to the liquor store before school, or bring it from home. school budges have been cut the past couple of years, and some schools rely on vending machine money for a good chunk of income. i would say the best thing is to have better education in health and pe class. PE should be mandatory regardless of what grade you are in btw. just my two cents.
