6. Recess, yes. Gym class, no
Gym class makes kids hate exercise because it's boring, it's too hard for many kids who aren't born well-coordinated, and it's graded by unfair teachers/coaches.

Crappy food has been around for decades. Kids started getting obese when adults started trying to control their play (= P.E.), and when TV and computers distracted them from their natural instinct to play.

Let kids get out and PLAY, which is nature's best exercise. Just pull them away from the TV or the computer, give them some outdoor toys, and let them do what comes naturally. :-)
