Impact Of School Based Programs On Overweight And Obesity

Almost zero impact.
"Childhood overweight and obesity are serious, large-scale, global, public health concerns and the number of children affected is still increasing every year. As the treatment of overweight and obesity is rarely effective, its prevention has priority today...

Children in the intervention group showed a mean relative reduction of body fat mass by 260 g after the one year programme. "
260 g is about 1/2 pound. That's all.

After one year in the program.

The program is a scam/hoax/BS/ineffective/etc.
