How did I ever make it out of elementary school.

Makes me wonder how my brother, sister and I ever made it out of elementary school eating things like cookies, cupcakes and ice cream....

good gosh once again where is the parents...

Proposal would limit sweet snacks at school parties, starting in 2012 | PennLive.com

No more nutrient empty foods ?


Personally I attribute my genius intellect to Twinkies and Hostess cream filled chocolate cupcakes

yea, its crazy. i have one in pre-k and he's only there from 1:00 to 3:45 and each parent has to bring something once a month for "snack time". i don't remember having that when i was a kid.

It's not the food, it's the difference from playing video games all afternoon drinking coke, or being thrown outside with a bicycle and a pocketknife and the whole world to play in. We worked it off when we were kids Doug; that just doesn't seem to happen anymore...

We used to go out in the shop and make swords. Ah to to be 14 again, left alone with an angle grinder, pile of metal and a welder.

My dad didn't get home from work till 5. Made for a lifetime of fun after-school experiences.

Many schools in Australia and New Zealand no longer sell sweets or softdrinks, in an attempt to combat childhood obesity.
Personally, I reckon they'd be better off forcing the fat kids to play sport. But that would be "a violation of their human rights", or some such bullcrap.

When I was in highschool I played rugby league every day except for when it was too wet, which is when we'd play touch rugby on the tennis courts. I was super-fit. And I also played club rugby league on the weekends, as well as hockey.
Man, I wish I could go back to those days... :'(
