What school can do to reduce obesity in elementary school?



please give me answer instead of provide healthy food in cafeteria. Thanks

Well, yeah. Ideas? Salad bars, with only healthy items (no mayo covered crap), roasted turkeys, chickens, lean beef, steamed brown rice, hot vegetables---not cooked in butter and fruit. No pizza, no fries, no fried foods, no ice cream--none of that crap they sell now. When I was in school (yeah, a few years ago..lol) the ladies actually cooked our food from scratch every day. It was GOOD. And this was in the 3rd biggest county in the USA---Fairfax, Va.
information dissemination.
more info, more awareness. more awareness, more results!
Make the parents attend a seminar on healthy eating and diet control along with educating the children .
they can start teaching the kids the cons of being fat and how it shortens their life span
by having a one hour p.e. period and taking out all the soda and snackes machines.
Increase the amount of days each student takes gym. Replace the vending machine snacks with healthier foods. Make the weight room more available to students (if the school has one), by allowing students to go there during study hall; not just after school.
MAKE GYM MANDATORY, maybe every day.

then change the menus, but make it good. my school has the option of premade sandwhich, hamburger/hotdog/cheesburger/c... pizza, meal of the day, nachos, salad, and bagels

now most of those options are unhealthy, and hamburgers are cheaper than the meal of the day.

if they could make healthy foods, and also make them worth eating, it would be a phenominal start

but considering that cloric intake hasnt changed in the past 20 years, but the amount of physical activity, gym would do even more.
