Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Book It Program Criticism

[paula laurita <paula@PCLNET.NET>]

The critiques of the Book It Program reminded me of the issue of school
lunches and obesity.  A recent news story reported that "Kids gain more weight
on summer break"
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=healthNews&storyid=2007-03-01T131852Z_01_N28325701_RTRUKOC_0_US-WEIGHT-SUMMER.xml

I don't think the Book It Program is going to "make" anyone obese.  The
problems with poor nutrition and childhood obesity cannot all be blamed on A
PERSONAL PAN PIZZA.
