For too long, the typical American diet has run rampant throughout school systems. The schools are packed with nutrient poor food, ranging from sodas to white bread in the lunch room. Why do we continually feed the youth of America white breads and sugars? We need to stand up and tell the government to regulate what can be fed to children at schools.
Not only that, but we need to begin to teach children wellness and preventative care for themselves as part of their health education. You do not need a pill for every ill, as most of the major medical problems faced by Americans, those being Heart Disease and Cancer, are almost completely preventable. By teaching children to switch their eating habits to a whole foods, nutrient rich diet, many health problems faced by the youth will vanish.
