One Word- OBESITY!

Obesity. One simple word. But I don't get it. The government is so concerned with the obesity problems in America, but they do nothing about it. The government can tell all of us that America is FAT but when you don't want to do anything about it, don't comment on it. Children. Children are the concern in America, they are the ones that need to be targeted, and learn about obesity before it becomes a problem for them. But in Pennsylvania at least, how does that work. In Elementary Schools, their Physical Education time has been cut back to once or twice a month. Once or twice a month, but the government is more concerned with Standardized Test scores to worry about how active students are. Why does the government get to decide how much physical activity a student needs if their not really concerned about it? Let's see, I realize standardized test scores are important, but children's health is more important than that. If these children don't know better than eating two cheeseburgers and fries at night because Mom and Dad both work. Then where are they going to learn that those two cheeseburgers and fries will eventually catch up to them if it hasn't already.
