Extractions: HEALTH EDUCATION AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION Rationale for Health Education and Physical Education Research is clear. The healthy, physically active child is more likely to be academically motivated, alert and successful in school and more likely to establish habits of behavior that will foster good health throughout life thereby enhancing the quality of life. More than twenty-five major reports published recently give a consistent and clear message: children and youth who are physically, emotionally and socially well are better able to benefit from learning experiences provided in school. Health behaviors, the most important predictors of current and future health status, are influenced by a variety of factors that include awareness and knowledge of health issues, skills necessary to develop healthy behaviors, and opportunities to practice the behaviors. A major threat to economic competitiveness in our state and in the nation is the health status of the work force. Alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; low levels of physical fitness; poor nutrition; accidental injuries; and non-job related stress contribute to lowered health status. Poor worker health status results in loss of work time and increased medical care and insurance costs to treat preventable disease as well as inhibiting the quality of life.

The study, State-Level Estimates of Annual Medical Expenditures Attributable to Obesity , was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control to estimate the state-by-state costs of obesity, separate from costs incurred from those related to overweight, which cumatively amounts to $93 billion. Several state legislators have been confronted with concrete numbers of how much obesity has affected their states in terms of health care costs, from $87 million in Wyoming to $7.7 billion in California. These numbers may be used by lawmakers to justify obesity related legislation touching on snack taxes, physical education standards and vending machine restrictions.

Extractions: Ozark Documentary Project Faculty Cline Nutrition and Coke Machines in Schools By Jennifer Winterrose The New York Times reports the Coca-Cola Company publicly vowed to roll back all of its marketing efforts to children under 12: no television ads; no free coupons; and no giveaways like book covers emblazoned with the company's logo. But Coke has not disappeared from the lives of schoolchildren. In June, consumer groups and some parents were dismayed when Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coke's largest bottler, became an official sponsor of the National PTA . What was not widely known at the time was that the PTA had also given John H. Downs Jr., the bottler's senior vice president for public affairs and its chief lobbyist, a seat on its board. One of Coke's chief challenges is determining how to sell and promote its products and remain in the good graces of parents. Like many food companies, Coke and its bottlers are struggling to change the public's perception and to maintain their business in the face of growing concern about health and nutrition. Coke and Pepsi have been heavily criticized for selling to children and for locking school districts into contracts for exclusive rights to have soda vending machines on school grounds. Some school districts have banned soda sales on campus.
