http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/story.html?id=07767938-a038-466a-adf8-4bbf5f77c096&k=49025I remember learning how to count calories when I was 12 years old.
We're so busy drilling into kids that "Fat is bad", that we ignore the fact that kids have all kinds of self-esteem issues already. Plus, starving yourself is way worse for you than being overweight.
It also annoys me that junk food is being taken out of schools - of course it's not good to have that stuff everyday, but what you're doing is sending a powerful message that you can NEVER have treats. What happened to everything in moderation?
And why are we so obsessed with size? Why can't we promote "Health at any size"?
