No, I think it's time we reevaluated the food pyramid, food labeling, restaurant portions, home economics in high school and recess in elementary school. And we need to reevaluate our urban planning.
I think kids need a lot more physical activity, especially boys. I think kids in high school should have a basic understanding of nuitrition and portion sizes based on a new food pyramid. I think they also need to learn basic cooking skills in high school.
I also think restaurants should be mandated to list caloric content for menu items, along with a breakdown of fats, carbs and protein. I also think they should be encouraged to offer smaller portion sizes of popular entrees.
Lastly, we need to take a look at how we build cities and infrastructure. Our cities should be much more pedestrian friendly. We've done a really lousy job on supporting bicycle lanes and paths in urban areas, and in near suburban areas.

It's hard to disagree with any of that. It's worth remembering, though, that most kids get most of their food at home, not at school or in restaurants. If parents don't see a problem, the kids aren't going to either.

Speaking of recess - I don't know how it was over here, but when I was at high school, we got 15-20 minutes break every morning, and then a good hour for lunch, half of which was spent
smoking in the bushesrunning around. My kids didn't get any of that, and barely had time to finish lunch before they were back in lessons. Not only did they miss out on exercise, there wasn't a whole lot of time for socialising either. -

I think that is absolutely correct
Have obesity and poor fitness ruined more lives than covid? I'm not sure how I would measure that, but the damage is real.

Do they even have physical education in school these days?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think that Illinois is one of the few states that requires PE every day as well as recess everyday up through grade 8 (I believe).
