At the helm: PE law won't solve child obesity - Naples Sun TImes(Childhood Obesity News)

My school conducted these so often that it became a form of torture, especially during the last months of school before summer break. I guess those things aren’t done here or otherwise lawmakers wouldn’t have passed a bill that requires elementary schools to have 150 minutes of gym a week. All the physical exercise conducted at school won’t help if a child has poor eating habits once they are at home. But my mother didn’t find it necessary to stop purchasing these wonderful treats; she left it up to me to control. A fine attitude for an adult, but not a very good one for a child who is still learing about self-control. Giving children a choice whether to exercise or not is a bad idea. Read Childhood Obesity
