With American kids getting bigger, some programs are trying to get them to make healthier choices. Kids around 8 and 9 are in a math class where they are learning how to create combination's, and the teacher decided to gave examples with spinach and eggplant's. Some teachers have found a way to include healthy food while teaching math and English. They believe that if kids are exposed to a positive and healthy message about food, that maybe in there future they will eat healthier, and it will make a long term change.
In the US alone childhood obesity has tripled during the past 30 years. They believe the more kids talk about food topics and vocabulary, there better they are to make nutritional choices.
This is not so much violence in schools, but it did relate to schools. I thought this story was interesting, because they are helping kids to make the right choices. So in there future they will make better ones instead (hopefully).
