I would agree that putting our kids on diets seems stupid. However the other problem is we now have 4th graders with type 2 diabetes. I believe that we are at an over 40% obesity rate in the country and I think it is also getting worse.
If you have a child that is almost 80 pounds overweight some kind of intervention needs to take place. Ultimately though cleaning up the school lunches won't solve this problem because the problem starts at home. The government can't fix this problem, parents are going to have to.
So I predict we are going to have some young deaths in about ten years because I seriously doubt anything is going to change.
