		<description>I say chase them all with a big stick - the pain of running will be less than the pain of the big stick!

Seriously though -- A healthy body will help with the development of a healthy mind. Sugar, additives and the like have been proven to send kids loopy, their test results and social skills degrade. One nneds to view a human as a holistic entity - no kid left behind needs to be social,physical,and mental for it to work. School can only help to a certain degree however, the rest is up to the parents and GASP society as a whole. I grew up in Italy, and if I was doing something stupid an adult not known to me would have no issue with telling me so, and guess what? I listened because there was a sense of respect instilled throughout the society. Also, should my parents have found out about it, they would not have objected because &#039;how dare anyone tell my kid what to do!&quot; - the problem extends beyond the physical...

However, noe that it is too late-chase them with a stick! Run Fatboy Run!!

BTW - don&#039;t give me that &quot;you&#039;re insensitive&quot; rant. YOU CHOSE to be fat, just as I CHOSE to smoke, until I made the CHOICE to stop! You are all probably quite happy to abuse smokers or substance abusers - well guess what (excepting RARE medical conditions) fat people ARE substance abusers - they abuse food!</description>

		<description>You know what would help?  Get rid of all these safety rules.  You tell a kid he has to wear a helmet when riding a bike, next time he won&#039;t ride the bike.  So he flies off every so often, and maybe some kids die.  You end up with healthier kids.  Also, bring back the jungle gyms and any lawyer who sues, make them sit inside the gym.</description>

		<description>While I couldn&#039;t do well in physical education in school, I was not fat.  In fact I was very skinny.

I was later easily able to pass the physical fitness requirements for the US military.  Something is wrong with physical fitness in school.

I remember one PE test where the coach would throw a football and you had to catch it 8 out of ten times.  He threw it right to the people he liked, but other people he threw it over their heads and marked them low grades for failing to catch it.</description>

		<description>No sh$#? Take away all recess, make a kid sit at a desk from 7:50 am to 3:10 pm and you&#039;re telling me they get fat and out of shape?!?! Wow you don&#039;t say? But what about the 30-60 minutes of Phys Ed they get a week? Doesn&#039;t that help?</description>

		<description>Just imagine, in a No Child Left Behind way, that these kids&#039; physical education and fitness was a requirement to pass...  That&#039;s the way it works in the armed forces, where many of them are headed, right?</description>

		<description>#20--Jag==that reminds me of skits on the &quot;Man Show.&quot;

Not really &quot;funny&quot;, just inappropriate, like most of the Man Show==pretending to be for Mens&#039; Rights, but actually just denigrating women?</description>

		<description>Running a little faster than five miles an hour for a little more than ten minutes in fourth grade doesn&#039;t strike me as a minimum standard.</description>

		<description>#16. Not Colorado, I can truly say with confidence the ratio of fat to fit is much higher on the fit side. Not sure why, maybe its the altitude.</description>

		<description>Mustard, I just got back from vacation in Dominican Republic and can&#039;t get it together, sunburned, got seasick on the scuba dive boat and entirely too many French people there.  Just FYI they hate Bush there too.

Anyway the little fat kid was wearing a t-shirt that says &quot;I fuck on the first date.&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been to every state in the US.  There&#039;s about the same percentage of non-fit people everywhere.  If some of you would get off your asses, you would know that.</description>

#1, 2, 3, 4 - Ketchy
You must be fermenting&lt;/i&gt;

At least he doesn&#039;t have Salmonella.

Er.. you don&#039;t, do you Mr. Catsup?
