moyself Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Everyone in America knows that we have problems with obesity and public education. This is what I think about it: there are two culprits that cause these two things... Anyone want to guess? Too bad! I'm so evil These are what I believe to be the culprits:1)High fructose corn syrup-that extremely sugary thing at the top of the ingredients list of so many foods everywhere2)American Football-yes football-public schools spend thousands of dollars buying football uniforms, helmets, pads, etc, while they could be using it to work on education Obviously, public schools need to have some sort fo fitness program, but football just isn't worth the money. Almost all other sports(soccer, lacrosse, basketball, etc.) have fewer expenses in terms of equipment. And, we obviously can't get rid of football, since too many people like it for us to stop it. I think public schools should make the people who want to play provide their own equipment. If anyone else wants to add to this or argue, please go ahead(but if you are arguing, be nice about it :doh:) Quote
freeztar Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 There are many culprits involved. You might be interested in this thread which discusses obesity. You might also like the various threads about education on these forums. Imho, education faces much more daunting challenges than football funding. Quote
