The Problem

Obesity rates are climbing all across the United States. Especially in children and teenagers. There are vending machines in schools that are supposedly selling healthy foods, but the biggest switch they have made is changing from original chips to baked ones. The machines still sell cookies and high sodium foods. There are still soda vending machines, all though they only work after school. As soon as the bell rings. The cafeteria serves pizza alongside salad. What are the children going to choose. P.E. is only required for one year, and it doesn't do much to help. Children and adults don't care they come up with excuses for not eating right and not going to the gym.
