Our kids are getting fat. It's a fact. Hell, we as a society are getting fat! (But let's not worry about that, we need to save the CHILDREN! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN! *sob*) Anyway, we also have a rather
bad energy crisis coming on if we really are running out of oil in the next century. I think
there's a solution to both problems here. Instead of "recess" and "lunch" put all the little schoolchild darlings on big treadwheels from 11:30 to 1:00 and use the wheels to generate electricity.
Oddly, and sadly, enough, this is already half Baked

Seems like the thing to do is to make school uniforms copper jackets for girls, zinc for boys, and have them run around each other during PhysEd. |

[jutta] - Sheer numbers, then, would indicate that it really is a fantastic idea. ;P |
