Obesity and sedentary lifestyle… Stephanie Bravo

We have been hearing about obesity for years, but are we doing something against this problem?

As Stephanie mentioned and showed in a video, in USA there are too many children who do not practice sport and eat unhealthy food. Personally, I think that Chilean children obesity came from their homes and also from advertises which are always showing attractive images and cheap products in junk food.

If we, as teachers, help their students telling all the time not to eat unhealthy food or incentive them to do more exercises… Are they going to believe us? I do not think so; I think that this problem is a school and management level in terms of sport programs, sell healthy food in kiosks or teach healthy habits as a lesson plan so, we can help supporting these proposal but we can not make a change.
