 FOCUS
Fit for Learning: A Call to Action.
Spend a day in the cafeteria of your local school district and you may be
surprised at the inconsistent messages that students receive about nutrition and
physical activity. While many food service programs offer the standard menu that
meets federal guidelines for nutrition, the atmosphere of many cafeterias mimics
that of a fast food restaurant. This is an attempt to compete for student
choices and money. Our health classes promote healthy choices for nutrition and
physical activity, but access to vending machines, lack of daily exercise and
fund-raising activities that sell candy teach contradictory messages to our
students. Additionally, while many schools promote athletics and organized
recreation, there is an alarming trend to move away from physical activity
requirements, daily recess periods and comprehensive health programs.
