Mr. Rounsaville, you sound very uneducated about the consequences of kids eating bad food \u00e2\u20ac\u201d both immediate and long term. Do you eat that junk?<\/p>\n<p>You obviously do not know about the attractive, healthy and delicious choices available. (Low-sugar soda is not one of them. Aspartame causes cancer and tiny wormholes in the brain.)<\/p>\n<p>Actually, there is nothing more shocking than selling potent coffee, sugar and pure junk to children in a place of learning; and then diagnosing them as ADHD or hyperactive and giving them more drugs to calm down. I would suggest that you visit the local natural foods store and sample the variety they have for a start. Then do some homework and order it cheap.<\/p>\n<p>I was a very healthy kid until I entered the Kodiak school system at age 6. I became more unhealthy in the hands of educators and babysitters until I was 16. Luckily, when I hit high school, it was common knowledge that all you had to do was start smoking to lose pounds. The high school even had a designated smoking area \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and this was the \u00e2\u20ac\u212290s!<\/p>\n<p>KHS is in the dark ages! Healthy is cool. Spread the word. Being fit and looking great is cool!<\/p>\n<p>And you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re dead wrong: Exercise is not the most important factor. You are what you eat.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to homeschool my kids for the sole purpose of keeping them healthy. They need life-long healthy habits more than they need anything the school has to offer. I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t send them to school on this island until the schools come out of the Dark Age and start teaching the importance of how to take care of one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s body.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Kids want you to offer healthy choices. They want to believe you care about them. Coffee and sugar are addictive and you are promoting their addiction. Do you realize withdrawal from coffee and sugar is like quitting smoking?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aspartame causes brain rot?  Caffeine is as addictive as nicotine?  I am<i>so<\/i> screwed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via JJ Ross, a new reason to home educate&#8212; the schools have coffee and diet sodas available to the kids.
