Let them do without....they get hungry enough, they can catch the next meal....

Biggest problem, as with all things school related is getting parental 'buy in'.

Parental buy-in and guidance is the single biggest factor in all of this.   Fat kids turn into, for the most part, fat adults.  I am appalled at the level of childhood obesity I see every day around here, and the parents that think nothing of taking their kids to fast food five times a week, or keeping their cabinets stocked with potato chips and other fatty/salty snacks.  There is some level of childhood obesity that border on abuse, as it will affect those kids for the rest of their lives.

I'm on board with the first lady's agenda. (and anybody else who wants to jump on board and lead)  Anything that raises awareness or elevates the discussion, to force us to stand up and acknowledge that we are too fat as a society and need to change our health habits, is a plus.

Do we still have litter, alcoholism, tear down history and have children who can't read? Unfortunately, yes.

It will be interesting to see what Bill Clinton finds as a cause when he wife becomes President in 2017.

I am guessing it will involve interns.

He's  too old for interns, my guess it'll be something like Al Gore's cause, global warming or pollution and the need for more regulations and/or CO2  restrictions or something about the environment. He may even join up with Al Gore and fight our overheating planet, never mind that the 2014 Farmers Almanic says this winter will be colder and worse than last years winter, it's still global warming. The global warming agenda must go on!

Fairly sure it will be something international.  He's going to want to travel, and she is going to want him to be away as much as possible to avoid the optic of a former president calling any of the shots.  I think he will act in more of a diplomatic function, and perhaps travel with Secretary of State Soros.

No.  And now you are right back where you normally are....it's YOU that says "global warming"....people that know anything call it what it is - "climate change".

Kind of like this last winter I suspect.  US colder than average (In the "shocking but true" news front, the US is not the whole world.) while much of the rest of the world warmer than average.  Over all balance…. warmer than usual.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2014/03/19/global-climate-report-winter/6606079/

"The central and eastern USA shivered through a colder-than-average winter, but most of the rest of the globe did not share in the chill, registering the eighth warmest overall winter on record.

The data were released Wednesday by scientists at the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The climate center is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Climate scientists define winter as the months of December, January and February, which are the three coldest months in the Northern Hemisphere. South of the equator, in the Southern Hemisphere, these three months are summer.

The winter was 1.03 degrees F warmer than average, the NCDC reported. Europe was very warm. Countries such as Austria, Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands each had one of their five warmest winters. In Austria, where weather data go back 247 years, the nation had its second-warmest winter on record."


Speaking of lunches.  Just grasping at straws here, but I hope Sauer realizes that Omega 3's are critical for brain development and functioning. Cause something appears to be wrong upstairs.  Wink

Probably - that's why so much of the 00's were level on the temperature front.  It has started back up the last couple of years.

CO2 has reached an average of 400 ppm.  Taken on Mauna Loa.  As compared to less than 320 in 1960.
