"Healthy Buddies" teach lifestyle lessons to kids

The blind leading the blind children who lead the blind children.
"In the intervention school, teachers taught healthy-living lessons -- the value of being physically active, eating healthy foods, and having a positive body image -- to students in grades 4 to 7. These older students then paired with students in kindergarten to grade 3 to teach them similar healthy-living lessons."
But you have to claim victory, even if it is Pyrrhic:
"Although weight and body mass index (a measure of weight in relation to height) increased in 4th through 7th graders in both the control and intervention groups, the increase was significantly lower in the students in the intervention group."
Statistically significant, which can be very different from practically significant.

Plus, there is no long-term follow-up.

Way too early to crow.

They may end up eating it.

Hope crow is low in Calories.
