They should take the drink and candy machines out of the school. I just transferred to a new high school, and there are about 10 machines all around the school with donuts and cokes. Then at lunch, all we get is french fries and fried foods. Its the worst I've ever seen. Then I see tons of obese kids who always have a bottle of Coke in hand. It's sickening and just plain crazy. The machines need to come out! I get a coke once every 2 weeks as a treat, I don't drink soda like that. These kids live on it, like their life is depended on it! When I came here, i was like, OMG! These kids need gym!!! My other school only had 2 machines, and hardly no one was obese. Here, about 75% of the school is, not me of course. It's crazy!

Strength Training and Cardiovascular Training.
Proper nutrition
Encourage kids to play outside with other friends.
Encourage children to drink water rather than beverages with added sugar, such as soft drinks, sports drinks and fruit juice drinks.
Encourage children to eat only when hungry, and to eat slowly
