Should Schools Educate Children to Eat Healthier?
By Nate Feldman
Eating a balanced, healthy diet is something that nutritionists and many people in the health industry have been advocating for a long time. It's well known that eating well has many health benefits. It gives you the energy you need for the day, prevents illnesses, and even helps with your mental abilities. But, is it something we should be focusing on while in class? I think the answer is unequivocally yes. Having a good lifestyle in general, which good eating is definitely a part of, is something that educators should encourage from the youngest ages possible. If the goal of school is to truly help the next generation, it's important to teach them a fundamental thing that many people sadly overlook. There's the old saying, "You are what you eat." People who eat well are definitely giving themselves a great chance to succeed in whatever walk of life they wish to pursue. And while I am sure people can point to countless of examples of people with poor eating habits who went on to be enormously successful, you are more likely to accomplish results if you are taking care of yourself than if you are not. So, I look forward to talking with some people about their views on this subject in upcoming posts.
