Well said brianna.
Lurkette....these kids already live in reality before going to this school. They already have no clue about healthy habits, regular exercise, and positive reinforcement of the things they should do that are good for them. The reality is, this is a global issue and not an isolated one.

But as ShaniFaye points out, what happens when these kids go back to real life where their diet is not proscribed and they don't have someone yapping at their heels making them go on hikes?

What happens is they continue to practice the healthy habits they have learned in school. When a school like this is dedicated to teaching more than just English and math, going as far as teaching these children to appreciate themselves and what a good feeling it is inside to have people not laugh at you or make fun of you because of your weight, would just perhaps make these kids want to practice their curriculum outside of the classroom.
