Topic,
The problem of childhood obesity and how schools can help childhood obesity as well

The problem of childhood obesity is a very important problem in the USA and I am interested in this topic because I want to help the children of today's society in making the right choices as well as becoming fit and able to have a level of confidence when looking at their body. I don't want these children feeling embarrassed of their weight and in order for this too happen it starts with the school systems in the U.S making drastic changes in the way they serve their food. Schools serve school lunches with little hesitation of worrying about the nutritional value that these kids are going to be consuming. Which has a very positive effect on why some children across America are obese. As well as the "main course" of lunch being usually a type of fried food or something like pizza, etc., schools also provide a ton of chips and cookies and some type of desert which also doesn't help especially on top of the badly nutritioned main course being provided for the children. From real life experience of attending public school at Glastonbury High School, public schools however do serve fruits and vegetables. The only problem is the fruit that I was provided with at GHS was always in terrible condition wether it was a mushy apple or a bruised banana or even really chewy broccoli. It just didn't agree with my taste buds which is why I think so many of these kids do not eat the fruits and vegetables at school and decide to stick with all the unhealthy choices. In my eyes, these schools need to focus on the more nutritional type of lunches being served as well as focusing on making sure the fruits and the veggies are in the best condition possible to be served so that the kids can be healthy as well as finish the rest of their day off strong because without nutritional energy, you are not going to succeed as often in the classroom as well as in a sporting event or whatever these children do after school. This would help tremendously for these suffering children suffering with obesity. Childhood obesity is a very big problem and can easily be fixed starting with the school systems and what they serve for school lunches and even breakfast if they serve that as well. In my speech I am going to talk about the improvements that need to be made to these school lunches, the benefits of these changes towards childhood obesity, a real life experience as well as some real life facts to spice it up alittle bit. This is a major topic in today's health society and it is something that needs to be fixed
