Reduce Childhood Obesity Rates In Schools

The Issue

Almost 1 in 3 children in the United States are Obese and this epidemic needs to be solved. School lunches have improved nutrition but has not shown any results since  obesity is still on the rise. Around 45% of school gets thrown away each day so Nutrition is irrelevant is if the food is not consumed. So schools need to improve school food quality while maintaning the nutrition in the food. Also only 4% of schools require students to enroll in a physical Education class and this is a major factor to the increasing obesity rates. So sign this petition so school leaders can see how much of a issue this is and so a change can occur.
