To The US Department of Education:
We, the undersigned, are asking the United States Department of Education to allocate more funds toward the physical health of our children, by financially and legislatively supporting public school systems in the reinstitution of recess, physical education, and the improvment of school lunch programs across the country. As young people grow less and less physically active, entertaining themselves with television, viseo games and the Internet, coupled with the expense of healthy, organic foods in a difficult economy, obesity among children and teenagers is growing at an alarming rate. This results in heart conditions, juvenile diabetes, earlier occurances of type II diabetes, artritic conditions in kids, asthma, and a myriad of other health issues. Ultimately, these problems have devastating affects on the national economy, causing healthcare expenses to skyrocket. The government has spent billions of dollars on other issues. We are asking you to consider the fact that if our children continue on their present path, there will be no one alive and healthy enough to enjoy the country you are trying to preserve.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
