The first lady is dishing out the calories to our young people; but, meanwhile at the ranch, we must discuss re-instituting health and physical education (PE)  back in the classroom.  In the health classes, we must teach children (girls and boys) early on about etiquette (which includes manners), sex, how to set a table (and how to sit properly at a table – this is not just for girls) and proper usage of eating utensils, how to cook a meal (this is also not just for girls – boys eat too) and personal hygiene.  Most families do not have any meal at the dining room table – only in front of the television – which is not good – we must get back to family interfacing with each other.  We keep talking about calories; but, we must also talk about exercising these children each day.  If these children do not have a class  in PE, they do not have any exercise at all – which is where the weight comes from.  Make PE mandatory in all schools from kindergarten thru grade 12.  These are all practical skills that should be taught at home; but, due to our present family structure – sometimes, it is not available.  In some instances, the children will bring back to the homes learning experiences that will even help the parents.
