Disadvantaged areas.
And maybe the kids in your kids class are not fat yet. Obesity really seems to explode after 9. Thatâs just my anecdotal experience now before the pub med brigade come along
Itâs a middle of the road type area. There are no fat kids in either class 2nd or 4th. The vast majority in both Boys and Girls classes are playing at least one sport. The school regularly runs âFood Dudeâ type initiatives which encourage children to have more fruit and veg in their lunch boxes.
Iâm sure your correct re disadvantaged areas and child obesity is a serious issue but I do think its overstated by vested interests.
Of course they were. People havenât been happy since the agricultural evolution. People were content hunting and foraging, hanging around in small groups and worshipping the moon. Farming fucked that up and led to the majority of people becoming indentured slaves to the system. Itâs only worse it is getting. And for what⌠a nice house, a fancy phone, a nice pair of tackies and a few likes on the internet are all fine and good but meaningless in the grand scheme of things when youâre 6 feet under. I

Ah yes, you know me now iâm an unbelievable cynic for this shit, you are right in one way.
There is not a western cou try around that has not delayed itself to be the âmost obese country in the worldâ or the classic irish âwe will be the most obese in the worldâ
@backinatracksuit - I have a program I use with clients. I have been onto the big shots who designed it about rolling it out on broader scales (teams, schools, uniâs etc). They will bespoke the shit out if it for me if needed.
What opposition would you cone up against in DEIS schools? The problem usually with doing the best most evidence up to date thing is the lager who is in situ unwilling to up skill or move aside. What do they do in relation to eating with kids.
I do use rhos program with kids but in a private capacity so no issue. It works. Has a profound effect on family life in fact. But rolling it out seems like alot of work.

Limerick had the most obese full back line in the world for a while there but not any more unfortunately
Is that the curse of consciousness, of eating the apple in the Garden Of Eden
Depression is only a fad, it was far less prevalent 30 or 40 years ago, social media is to blame for a lot of it
In fairness, hunting wildebeest and shouting at the moon are fairly meaningless when youâre six ft under.
That means a lot to me Kevin 
Seriously hard watching now on RTE with the parents of a teenage girl who killed herself describing the system failures in the lead up to her death.
Woeful stuff
A relative committed suicide last week, utter devastation for their immediate families. Replaying scenarios in their heads to see if they could have done things differently
