Firstly, you have shit teeth, which you've admitted yourself. I'm sure your food intake hasn't helped them.

Secondly, what works for you doesn't work for everyone. Up until a few years ago I was eating KFC three times a week and still maintaining my weight with no exercise. Others put on weight far more easily. I was ranked nationally for my athletic event while eating pies and that kind of rubbish every day.

Thirdly, it's not so much about controlling obesity as it is setting up good eating habits for the future. Once you get into a rut of eating poorly, it's hard to get out. If we teach children maths and English at school, why shouldn't we also teach them nutrition, aided with a bit of practical work?

You must have been fucking skeleton. My BMI is 22 and I'm often called skinny in the pejorative sense.

So considering that they'd be hyperactive it wouldn't surprise me you could run faster. Unfortunately, running around the classroom isn't conducive to learning.

Actually, I was a good runner because I played sports every lunch time. Eating sugary foods doesn't give you cardiovascular ability, much as fatties everywhere wish it did. And I was one of the top students and never had a problem concentrating.

I have shit teeth because I declined to wear a brace when I was a teenager. I don't have a single filling or cavity and my dentist praises the condition of my teeth every time I visit him. The only problem is my out-of-whack canines.

Which is exactly why you shouldn't restrict the behaviour of everyone due to the problems of the few. Introducing generalised laws because fucking idiots can't regulate their children's diets punishes everyone out there who can exercise common sense and self control.

I was taught nutrition at school. Has no impact either way on my point.

I was. I had a strong bout of glandular fever when I was 13 and lost over 14lbs of weight that completely set back my physical development.

I'm sure you're super awesome, so don't get defensive, we are talking about everyone else. For the small amount of time you're at school 8-2pm, its not unreasonable to impose some dietary limitations. When you get home from school or before you get on the bus drink all the soda and junk food you want.

Bitches! My BMI is 15.

It's okay to be jealous.

Yeah, but you're vegan.

You'd have had a fucking mission stopping me eating what was in my lunchbox.

It's actually gone UP since I stopped eating meat. Sadly I'm still way too underweight and can't make it go up

Bullshit its not unreasonable. By what right do schools have to dictate what I put in my child’s lunchbox? Quote the relevant statute.
