It won't work. Jamie Oliver tried it in the UK. The parents were bringing fish and chips to the school gates and passing it through to the kids.

Well that's a tad defeatist! At least they're trying something. As I said before, good for them, it's a step in the right direction. Now if only parents would stop feeding their children junk.

How difficult is it to not be overweight as a youth anyways?
Too much pop, McDonald's, prescription medication and lounging around on the internet/playing video games anyways.
Parents should make sure their kids are out and active when it's nice out.
Then again, you're not a normal child if you don't like being outside.
