They are a combination of biological and chemical weapons begin used against school kids… But in all seriousness, NPR is reporting that some retired military types they kids are to fat and lunches are to blame.
Seems to me that food is just one part of the problem. You also have to address physical fitness. Thus I think the solution is 2 parts: 1) Personal responsibility in eating. 2) Enforce fitness by requiring either a sport of a fitness test. Give kids a choice join the swim team or be able to run 1.5 miles in 15 min.
Of course you have to be careful with your definitions of “sport” and “fittness”. Putting pads over your 300+lbs of blubber and running into other fatties for 30 seconds a week, is not what I would call “fit”. And yes that is a stab at football.
