PE isn't going to make them not fat. Unfortunately, when it comes to weight, what you're eating is far more important than how often you're getting physical exercise.

Yep, and that problem is a lot to do with the food industry and how it has shaped out eating habits.

Hence my argument on trying to make high quality produce more available to all people, and having it exist in schools.

The food in my school was perfectly healthy. The sweets, drinks and lunch I bought from various shops each day were not healthy. However, I would be vehemently against keeping secondary/high school children from going out at lunch break.

The problem with "healthy eating" is that it tries too hard to look cool, when all it needs to do is point out what will happen if you don't eat heathily and show some pictures of fat fucks, diabetics missing limbs, people missing teeth, bad skin etc. and say "well, if you think this looks good, go for it, ya weird bastard".

You're not going to establish a long lasting industry trend by scaring people into buying the products. This is a very bad marketing idea and you should feel bad.

The marketing is already terrible for people, might as make it terrible but good intentioned.

I'm not even going to bother saying anything, because I'd just get frustrated.

For sure if you're eating garbage then exercise alone isn't going to help you, we should encourage both.
