'National dialogue' to tackle childhood obesity - Politics - CBC News

'National dialogue' to tackle childhood obesity - Politics - CBC News

I envision a healthy school community as one that has recess as an important part of the day. A school that has an outdoor classroom, where children learn about healthy lifestyles, nutrition and have a sense of belonging in knowing and understanding their part in the world. Children need to know where their food comes from and how to grow it. Spending time gardening is an excellent way to keep fit. Physical Education classes should be incorporated into gardening projects
