Planet Health Obesity Prevention Curriculum: Cost/Benefit Analysis Shows Net Savings For Obesity And Eating Disorders

K-rap.

Teaching middle-school children about nutrition and exercise and encouraging them to watch less TV can save the health care system a substantial amount of money, suggests an economic analysis from Children's Hospital Boston and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Teaching the kids is one (useless) thing.

Because parents undo it all.

One fool (a fat parent) can undo the work of seven wise people.

So can two fools, i.e., fat parents (in families with two parents - a vanishing breed).

Planet Health is just that.

Not of this planet.
