In proportion to their body weight, they eat more food, drink more liquids, and kids are outdoors more than adults. Marcus Marcus also noted that as adults, we can make decisions for ourselves about what health risks to take, but that we cannot allow the same to be true for children. Children are our future and deserve our best efforts at protecting their well-being from environmental hazards in the home, schools, and all areas of their lives.
Effective research needs to be put into practice.
A research and working collaborative network between all parties needs to be developed. I am hoping that a viable coalition for healthy schools can be initiated. Visit the UC Berkeley School of Public Health for more information .
