Very true,
Parents are responsable for their children,
Here in Ireland as in the Uk & in most of Europe,
Every school has a Parents' School Management Group,
So When A School decides on Food etc,etc,
The Parents' Group must Decide for all children,



If You are a Father Or Mother,
with children
In the USA School system,
STOP OBESE,
Have Your Say,
START A Parent Group With the Management of the School,
DO NOT LET OTHER CHILDRENS PARENTS KIDS,
GIVE YOUR CHILD A BURGER OR FAT SNACK FOR LUNCH,
OR THE SCHOOL ITSELF,
Our Children are Our Future,
HEALTH IS WORTH MUCH MUCH MORE THAN WEALTH
