It is so important to teach children the importance of healthy eating and being active to stay healthy. There has been widespread news about the high numbers of childhood obesity in young Canadian children. This stems from the fact that many children sit in front of T.V.s and video games each day, and results in not gettoing enought active play that their bodies require to stay fit.There needs to be put pressure on the governing bodies in our education system to ensure that children eat healthy, especially while they attend school during the day. There needs to be policies put in place to make sure our children are not bringing junk food to school for snacks, and these policies need to be enforced.
