If the schools are so flippin worried about having healthy kids why don't they bring back the daily hour of phys.ed that used to be the norm?
That's gone? I knew gym was out when I was in 11th and 12th grade, but I though the younger kids still had it. This was in the late 80s/early 90s.

Agreed. While I agree with mtnbkr as an adult (because I sure notice that whole milk can put the weight on me compared to 1% which is what I usually drink nowadays), as a kid, I probably drank at least 1/2 gallon a day of regular milk, and I was skinny as a rail. I was also running around at recess and from the time school let out until dinnertime.
I wonder how Cheetos taste smothered in peanut butter?Oh,that's right,peanut butter's verboten in some schools too.
A carton of ice cold whole milk,a PBJ sammich,& an apple were my standard grade school fare.

I agree with that. I mean comeon I just graduated recently (2001) and I still remember phys ed for an hour every day. The last PE class I had to take was my sophmore year of HS.

I graduated HS in 1988.PE was mandatory until 10th grade.It was an elective after that.
This very topic came up @ work a couple of weeks ago.It seems that the guy I work next to has an 11th grader that hasn't seen a gym since grade school.A friend has 3 kids in the local Montessori program(2nd,9th,& 10th grades).None of them has ever had a gym class.
