Ps. I know I just posted a really long entry, but I wanted to express that as an adult although I don't blame my parents I agree many kids are not being taught properly. I currently live in Mississippi and I've heard that atleast 1/4 people here are obese. Not overweight, obese. People here are poor and eat cheap and unhealthy foods, fry everything, and lack in education as well as resources. Some of the situations around here would break your heart. My friend teaches 1st grade for a rural school and regularly distributes items like deoderant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc to kids who by age 6 have never brushed their teeth! Healthy diet, calories, BMI, carbohydrates, fat.. to them sounds like a foreign language. These people and these places do exist where kids do not learn from parents and it carries on for generations.
