Schools can promote a healthy lifestyle
0 Comments | Charleston Gazette, The, Sep 2, 2010 | by Lindsey Hanks
Teen and child obesity is an issue in America, and students spend long hours at school each day. Why don’t schools make a stronger effort to promote a healthier lifestyle to their student body?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In 2009, the USDA conducted a study of the National School Lunch Program and noted that the high consumption of sweets among school breakfasts has “room for improvement.”
Serving sweets can be OK – just not too often. Instead of cinnamon rolls and French toast, the schools should serve food that is healthy.
Offering whole grains in foods such as cereal, bagels and toast can provide more fiber, protein and nutrients than white flour, according to Mayo Clinic.
Lunch also can be a healthier time of day. Some days, schools serve pizza, French fries, burgers and chicken nuggets. Again, these foods are acceptable in moderation, but not several times a week.
Many schools offer salad bars and some fruit

So after my morning cry of ?No More Excuses!?, I pulled them from bed, fed them a warm breakfast, packed them in our new gas filled minivan, and sped off to our destination. I tuned the grumbles from the back seat out and continued to cheerfully cry ?No more excuses!?, ?You?ll love this, trust me!?, ?You?ll feel so good when you?re done!? all the way to our church. At church we met up with some other families who looked just as enthused as us to be there at 8:30 a.m. on a cold dreary Saturday morning and all of us loaded into the van and off we went. It wasn?t long before we started talking about all the great things in our lives and all of our past volunteer experiences and suddenly we were a little more enthused.

You can always get more severe later if you must.
* Don’t use ALL CAPS *
Using all capital letters in an email rates the same as SHOUTING in someone’s face! Ignorance of this custom online does not excuse the behavior.
Though you may think typing certain words in ALL CAPS merely shows emphasis on your part, to a “computer geek” you will seem rude and offensive. Once you have offended the person from whom you seek help, your chances of receiving that help diminish significantly.
* Get to the point *
Everything happens quickly online. Time ranks number one as the customer support person’s scarcest resource and they don’t have time to read long emails to figure out what you need.
When asking for help, always include your name, contact information, order information, specific dates and a clear description of the help or information you need.
Avoid including any extraneous information that won’t contribute directly in assisting someone in giving you exactly what you need.
Though the Internet and email may seem like an instant solution to many problems, people still run the technology.
