More and more of America's children are gaining weight from eating non-stop junk food. Twinkies, HoHos, DingDongs, etc. All of these are leading to heart trouble. Which in the end leads to kidney failure, and even death if too serious! My question here is, why do America's children eat all this junk food if they know it is bad for you? And why can't everything prevent them from stopping? I mean seriously, food bans in schools, whole grain markets, and even the cookie monster on Sesame Street is now the vegetable monster. The 21st century is not a good place to be! And everyday immagrants come to America just to make more obese people in the future! 1,000 pounds for an adult is ridiculous! And so is a kindergartener who weighs 200 pounds! And the sad part, its so true! Its insane! More and more people are gaining weight, and this needs to come to an end!
Answer
Soon we'll be sharing the wealth with Europeans as they introduce junk food vending machines. The is one company that is actually giving away free sample of bags of chips in European schools.
Our school menus need to change. The meals are high in fat and sodium. When my son was on dialysis, he had to carry a bag lunch every day.
Add to that moms and dads who get home tired and exhausted from working all day - barely enough time to set down their bags, make dinner, help with home work, into bed and do it all over again the next day. They don't have time to struggle over whats for dinner and whose going to eat it, so they use what works - what their kids will eat.
Yes, 1000 lbs is rediculous and so is 200 lbs for a 6 year old, but keep in mind these are extremes. They are poor examples to use when trying to convince people that something needs to change.
How do we get kids to eat healthier? As parents, we need to limit the amount of "filler food": candies, sweets, sodas, chips, hotdogs, cakes, etc. I mean REALLY limit it.
We need to stop giving our kids "juice" boxes filled with high fructose corn syrup. Look at the label folks - look for 100% fruit juice!
Instead of candies and sodas, we need to offer our kids fruits to eat as filler foods between meals.

I need ideas for a Valentines Day party at church?

I am in charge of putting together a Valentine's Day party at our church. Can you help me with any fun ideas, games, or menu items?
Answer
Do you know what I honestly miss about Valentine's day, when I was in grade school? Handing out Valentines. Sitting down and writing a nice little note to every one of my classmates, putting a little red lollipop on it, and squeezing it into that tiny envelope. Then going to school the next day and gluing tiny pink and red hearts all over a crisp white lunch bag, setting it on a table, having a fun party with all of my friends, and going back home with a bag full of fun little notes and candy from all of my friends. Maybe you could do the same thing with "inspirational" valentines (I'm sure they sell them at Alpha and Omega or someplace). Just send the word out that everyone should bring an "inspirational" valentine for everyone else, maybe just get some heart shaped ink stamps and decorate all of the bags ahead of time, and people can just walk up to each other and exchange (it will encourage everyone to mingle). As for games, if the church-goers will be mostly older you could have a Valentine's bingo tournament, or perhaps a boggle, or dominoes or card game tournament, have everybody bring a dollar and the winner of the tournament will get the money. If there are a lot of smaller kids, they LOVE musical chairs, you could play christian rock music for them. If it's teens, they will want you to leave them alone as much as possible, just set out the food, clear a space, play christian rock music and supervise from afar. As for food, Valentine's is the perfect day for strawberry cupcakes, I know that some pizza places will make you heart-shaped pizzas if you request them and then maybe chicken wings and lot's of carrots and celery with bleu cheese.
You know you will probably get a LOT more answers if you post this question in the Religion & Spirituality section
