People have been dumbed down in public schools, taught not to question status quo, and to trust those in charge. They are brainwashed. How could
they possibly be making informed choices about what they are consuming when their normal human thinking abilities were shut off/down long ago from the
time of early childhood?
Totally agree. I mean, years ago in secondary school you had in a sense 'health' class and 'physcial education', but yes, you have it, and in most
of the states in the United States, it is not required to have 'gym' class everyday. What is up with that. Standarized Testing is becoming such a
pressure to the schools to preform, they just cut out gym so they can squeeze more 'information' into students. Studies have proven that gym class
can help improve academic preformance. And what fun is it to a kid to get up and play dogeball, its a blast? I was througly disapointed in the
education system for that.
We are also taught the 'history by the winners' lessons. I found that high school was such a waste of time, because I already knew more information
on history and algebra and trig more than the teachers. It also angers me at the sheer ignoarnce of people.
Then there my biology teacher started talking about evolution.... you can guess what happened.
. I literally started a war about freedom of speech
act. I personally believe in that, but being the devils advocate that I am, I told her, what about the Isamic students in our class.... I got that
part of the biology thrown out the window for future years
.
But anyways... a little of topic. But yes, our school system has failed society totally at keeping us heathly. If local and state goverements that
could acually function use what little inteligance that they have to throw together a strict diet-exerxcise daily routine, and introduce kids to
heathly food and cooking. I bet you rates of kids that are overweigth would decress dramatically.
We ARE starving ourselves practialy to death. Imagine if you liked on stuff like Big Macs and unheahtly fast foods for a week? I know people who do
that. Where would all your vitamins and minerals come from. Vitamin A-D are essential to body function.
I am lucky enough to grow up in a family that not nesisarly focuses on heahlty eating, but now I feel blessed that my family made me sit down every
evening and have a family dinner. It taught me how to cook, and at how to grow a garden. It is also based upon family morals and values.
For instance, I had many friends, who only saw their parents in car rides! I at least had a family meal where you could acually talk to your parents.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, kids these days are NOT learning how to cook, just throw it in the microwave, or go buy it nice hot and ready at
a McDonalds. That is a serious threat to our nations future. I will grow up with the classes under me and utterly helpless to help run the country and
they will sit, get fatter, and have to spend it all on healthcare
Some Brainfood for you
Its important to learn to eat until you are full but not miserable, and eat because your body needs fuel not because your sad or you need
something for your hands to do.
