Fast Food Education



“I’ll take a #3 with fries and a Diet Coke.” It’s not good for us, but it fills our gut and keeps our hands and jaws busy for a few minutes. It doesn’t do much for us in the long run; no real nutrition to nurture our bodies, but it’s easy and we know what we’re getting.

Do we have fast food schools? Move the kids through, pour in a few facts, give them a test, and let them pee it out on down the road. Our children can not obtain the skills they need through empty, routine lectures and worksheets. Those who eat well and exercise benefit from increased health and energy. Students who are engaged will be prepared for life.
