I absolutely agree. It has been studied and fast food chains are very strategic about placing restaurants near schools. There are so many obstacles and distractions surrounding healthy eating, especially for kids. Both schools and families play such a large role in creating a good food environment, particularly now when childhood obesity rates are alarming and "junk food" is extremely accessible.

Unfortunately, there just aren't enough programs like this to keep up with the rate at which fast food corporations are popping in close proximity to schools. It is detrimental that we train our kid's about healthy eating at an early age; transitioning a menu half way through the school year is a lot more difficult than already having children immune to healthy eating. http://valuethemeal.blogspot.com/ This is really great news.
