    In our gym/health class, we're graded on our *abilities*
    That means even if you try your hardest but still can't do the activity, you FAIL in that section. I could never build up the upper body strength to do the pull up bar, and when I had the test I couldn't lift myself. So I failed basically. It also really discourages people in my class. All of the inactive kids who don't do sports don't do as well. And they watch as the athletic kids ace everything. So what's the point of them trying when they'll never be that good. Nobody's the same on the fitness level. Some things don't help them, and some things do. But we're all forced to do the same thing.
    As for health class we don't really learn anything. We go over bullying and how to basically be nice. Nothing about our bodies or anything. It's such an easy class.

    My sophomore year of high school, I had a weight training coach in gym class who really pushed physical strength, and would make us max out our lifts, which isn't so good for young highschoolers. As a 15 year old girl, I was maxing out my deadlifts at an impressive 210 pounds... And now I'm a college student whose lower back regularly goes out. Diet isn't the only thing health classes get painfully wrong

    all I learned from health class is that baby boomers have really big egos
    once my 65 year old teacher was reading from the book and he added a lovely quote "we should strive to be like the best generation, the baby boomers, because of their hard work and dedication" and he just read it like it was fact and straight out of the book. it was not in the book. we called him mr pasta because his name sounded like some sort of noodle but other than that he only taught the normal shit: don't drink or do drugs (especially not the devils lettuce oh god not that its worse than heroin and cocain put together) sex is bad abstinence is good and exercise at least 4 days a week

      Fun fact! That's because the federal government has been subsidizing dairy products for several years. The more dairy products consumers buy, the less the government has to spend propping up the dairy industry. The worst part is that the vast majority of the subsidy money goes to farms owned by massive corporations that are more likely to survive the industry taking a hit. But we do have a national cheese vault, so that's kind of fun!

Which is understandable because why would you raise a generation with the mindset that their country isn’t the greatest?

    9:00 C
    8:00 B
    7:00- A
    Most kids are between 9-12.

    0-10F
    10-14D
    15-20C
    20-25B
    25+ A
    Pacer test is reasonable. I suck at running and I have managed a 35 before.
    Flexibility, sit and reach by inches past your toes, one leg at a time.
    0 or less F
    0-5 D
    6-10C
    11-15B
    16+A
    This varies but I’m very very flexible so I don’t care as much.
    Pushups, as many as you can in a minute
    0-5 F
    6-10 D
    11-15 C
    16-20 B
    21+ A
    Situps are the same as pushups but double every number
    Honestly the mile is what kills everyone. Average moderately athletic kid does between 8-10, and the non athletic kids are worse. The rest aren’t terrible standards.

    When I was in school, we still had the 4 Food Groups. The pyramids and the plate hadn't been invented yet.
    Milk
    Meat
    Bread
    Fruits/Vegetables (one group)
    That last group included SO much, like beans and potatoes.
    I remember, back then, Margarine was called butter, and was considered good for us.
    Fats were just part of all the groups, and sugar was just considered a seasoning, so it didn't really count anywhere.
    A healthy well rounded meal could be pork chop, biscuits or cornbread with margarine, baked potato with margarine and sour cream, and a glass of kool-ade because it had extra vitamin C. Chocolate milk was fine and did not count as extra sugar, because sugar did not count anywhere.
    As confusing as the pyramids could be, I do think they were a step in the right direction.

    Exercise _also_ reduces hunger. The problem with the association with exercise and weight loss is that you have to run a marathon or so to burn the calories you ingest in a single cup of black coffee. People overestimate how many calories they're burning, thinking they can reward themselves with highly-caloric treats. But being moderately physically active is very healthy even if it doesn't make you lose weight directly.

      Run a marathon to burn the calories of one cup of black coffee, are you serious?

    I remember back in the 80s, learning about the four food groups. I think the idea was that you should eat two things from milk, bread and meat groups, and four things from the fruit/vegetable group... (or was one of them three things? I forget.) Peanut butter was considered "meat group" because of protein, and anything with a lot of sugar was considered "junk." I don't know if there was any science behind it, but it seemed like it was working... sort of.

    I just want to point out that olive and sunflower oils which this video said were healthy are not monosaturated, but monoUNsaturated and they're only healthy so long as you don't cook with them at high temperatures. Anyone using unsaturated fats to cook with are basically turning the oils rancid at which point it'd be better for you to cook with a saturated fat, or monounsaturated at a low heat. Better yet, just don't add oil to your cooking but, anyways...

    USA kind of lagging behind rest of the world when it comes to teaching nutrition apparently.. I didn't even realise you guys only started using the plate model in schools so late when where I live it has been the main way to teach the nutrition as long as I've been in school(And I'm in my 20s so it's earlier than 2011) alongside of the food pyramid though ours is a bit different with vegetables and berries being on the bottom as the type of food you should eat the most. And they have been on the bottom since 1987.

    To every vegan preaching down below: veganism isn't for everyone.
    And before you say anything about how horrible I am for eating meat: I'm vegetarian and slowly transitioning to a vegan diet.
    Sure if you live in larger cities/countries it may be easy to go vegan, but as someone who lives in the middle of nowhere it's not.
    And yes I know veganism is better for the environment, but some of ya'll are acting like veganism is the only right.
    If people would just eat less than 200g of meat each week, it would still help a whole lot.

      Duval no it wouldn't if you use meat sparingly.vegans who start eating meat will have their cholesterol skyrocket but meat eaters who eat 100 grams of meat a week will keep their cholesterol high which leads to clogged arteries then leads to heart attacks and many more diseases.the American college of cardiology recommends full plant based diets and is suitable for all stages of life.william c Roberts claims humans are herbivores simply because only herbivores can get clogged arteries from cholesterol.humans are herbivores and one of the most respected cardiologists in the world agree with what I'm saying.and the president of the ACOC is also vegan.veganism is ethical,helps you live longer and keeps you safer from many chronic diseases.

    My favorite health myths are the ones perpetuated by the American dairy industry.
    First was the strong bones one, but then it became common knowledge that milk strips calcium from your bones.
    Now they're promoting it as a source of protein, which isn't inaccurate, but the last time Americans *needed* to use dairy as a main source of protein was World War II. When options like meat are universally available, you need 0 servings of milk.

Nobody would eat that sort of amount naturally, so you would really have to go out of your way to make you sick with them. That's why it's the safest thing to assume is healthy constantly.

    I think that this video is well guided, but I think that there are a few problems in your initial analysis of the pyramid. You cite the processed foods as linked to higher rates of diabetes, etc., but that’s correlation and not causation, i.e. its linked, but you’re not proving that processed foods necessarily cause diabetes. This is a little weird, because I believe (not totally sure though) that there are studies proving causation.
    Fitness-wise, the point was to enforce the unarguable importance of being active, versus the sedentary lifestyles that plague average office jobs. I think that their goal to encourage activity, regardless of what kind of activity, was a net good thing.

    Fact check: plant oils don’t lower cholesterol. Those studies were set up where animal fats were replaced by plant fats which will reduce cholesterol but they’re not healthy. The grain part of the chart should stay large, but potatoes and legumes should be moved to grain, dairy eliminated completelycuz we don’t need it. Protein should be lowered because a 2000 calorie diet of pure whole wheat products supplies 80 grams of protein (missing amino acids but that’s not my point). We get proteins from everything on that list so they don’t need to be an extra category. Also chicken and fish aren’t healthy they’re high in cholesterol which is the cause of the #1 fucking killer and were worried about protein deficiency. Omega threes should naturally be converted but unhealthy and old bodies can’t. Fats have 9 cals per gram while carbs have 4. CARBS DONT MAKE YOU FAT! ITS HARD TO EAT 2000 CALS OF WHOLE LEGUMES VEGGIES AND FRUITS ADD GRAINS AND YOU GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT!

    1. Every time you drink, drink water. Don’t waste calories on soda.
    2. Fats aren’t too bad, but get your fat from healthy options like avocado or peanut butter.
    3. Eat vegetables at least everyday. Vegetables are very high in fiber which can help you lose weight.
    4. Swap you’re favorite snacks with fruits. 25 strawberries is only 100 calories!!
    5. And lastly, exercise everyday, even if it’s just a 15 minute walk.
