Should we ban fast food near schools?
by… Kim Conte
A new study in California shows a strong link between teen obesity and the proximity of fast food restaurants to schools.
According to an article in the LA Times, the presence of a fast food chain like McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut within walking distance of school (about 530 feet or less) resulted in a 5.2 percent increase in incidence of student obesity when compared with students attending schools not near restaurants.
OK, I know. Obesity can be caused by lots of things including genetics, lack of exercise, and nutrition, but some researchers believe that fast food proximity to schools is a contributing factor. I may have eaten Taco Bell from time to time back in the day. Those spots were a hangout because it was cheap, fast, and (as they say) close to the school.
But the rate of diabetes and heart disease among young people is growing, so this is serious. State and local governments in California (and across the country) have started to ban certain foods in schools including soda, junk food, trans fats, and even bake sales. Should they go ahead and ban the restaurants that serve this kind of stuff, too?
Some CafeMoms feel parents are the ones who should teach their kids good eating habits, so they would make the right choices.
Is it enough to teach nutrition at home and in schools? Should fast food be banned near schools? What do you think should be done?

What do you all think?
Although I don’t have kids… if I did… I would think it’s my responsibility to teach them what’s healthy and what’s not! Otherwise trying to ban fast foods from school areas teaches the kids to blame someone else for their own mistakes. You can’t always go around blaming others… kids have to learn to be accountable for their actions and be responsible of their OWNSELVES!

Can You Calculate Your Body Fat % at Home?
Hi!
I got a question from someone on my last post about Body Fat Testing.
The question was:
Is there ANY WAY for us to “measure, calculate, or test” our own BODY FAT percentage and BREAKDOWN of our FAT POUNDS, at home? ….okay, & maybe a 2nd question too, LOL, …..do we need to purchase any special tool to be able to do this for ourselves, at home?
My Answer:
Of course, you always hear that the water tank is the most accurate if you want to know your REAL Body fat, but if you are just looking for a tool to measure your progress and changes, and you don’t have anyone to help you, then the on-line tools below might help.
When you are using body fat testing as a tool to see your progress and your changes… it doesn’t have to be exactly accurate. You are using it as a guage to track your progress. The important thing to remember is to use the same calculator every time once you find one that you like, and to also take the required measurements the same way every time.
When I competed and tested my body fat on a regular basis I used a 9 point check formula, which I felt was pretty accurate. That was with calipers, and also required help from someone to measure my back area, which isn’t always handy for everyone.
So I got on-line just a little while ago to see what was out there as far as Body Fat Calculators… and to my surprise, there seem to be all kinds of On-line Body Fat Calculators available. I don’t know how accurate they will be if you are looking to find your REAL Body Fat, but I think they should be good to use as tools to track your changes if you don’t want to buy any equipment.
The ones that I listed below are just a few that I found that looked good to me… but there are lots more out there if you don’t like these.
1) Here’s Dr. Sears body fat calculator that gives you your body fat % and also the breakdown of fat mass and lean mass.

2) Here is another body fat calculator, which I like the best so far because my body fat was the lowest on this one. LOL.

3) This is another body fat calculator that is pretty good. It has a chart with it to tell you what range you are in also.

Hope this tip was helpful! 🙂
