Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 's Daily Message FridaySeptember 29, 2006MAKE THIS HAPPEN! Recently President Bush and his administration cut a program called "VERB" that was the only fitness program whose aim was to get kids moving. I don`t think it had a big budget in the first place, but whatever they had was taken away from them. Isn`t that sad? Now there are no major programs out there that focus on getting our kids more active. Just this week, Mc`s handed 2 million dollars over to a big company to research why our kids are overweight. Wish they would give me the money! You know me; I`d tell them the truth! Well, since that is never gonna happen, I have a plan of my own. When I did my first book, "Never Say Diet," I based it on thousands and thousands of questionnaires that I sent out and gave to everyone I knew. I asked questions about diets, eating disorders, yo-yoing, plateaus, exercise, and self-esteem. I spent months reviewing all the answers, and that book told the truth about what was happening with the majority of Americans suffering with a weight problem. I plan to do the same and tell the truth about what is happening in our schools regarding fitness for our next generation. I am putting together a questionnaire for teachers, principals, school boards, and parents who presently have children in school. I will take all this current information and put it into a plan of what to do to save our children from an obese and unhappy future! Next month, I will do several national shows and will email the questionnaire to anyone who has the time and desire to fill it out. What I will learn, I will pass on to President Bush and President Clinton, senators and congressmen, and all the people who have the power to make this happen! I am just so tired of reading about how sick our kids are and how they may not outlive their parents. I`d like to pick up the newspaper and see an article with a headline reading, "The Kids in America Have Become Healthy and Fit!" When the questionnaire is completed, I will put it here on my Website! Thanks in advance for filling it out! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
