It isn't, but it's just funny how now all of sudden we're so worried about the health of kids and performing back flips on masks. Meanwhile, child obesity is a big problem (no pun intended), just like kids getting healthy meals at those same public schools.

"Son, take that goddamn mask off, ur gonna hurt ur immune system!"

*takes mask off*

"Good boy, now here's your 20 piece McNugget and 90oz. Mountain Dew."
False equivalence, no one is forcing kids to eat mcds. School is not there to regulate kids health or diet.

They aren't focusing on the real problems, playing into the whole left-right paradigm bullshit.
It does play into the conspiracy theory that all of this existential conflict is just theater to distract us from anything that actually might matter.

Even CNN has jumped ship on masking for kids

My question is what does all that even have to do with investing?

Those fat fucks and their never ending health problems is why we can't have single payer healthcare
It is the same reason why our universal healthcare has big wait lists for certain elective surgeries. Fat fucks bogging down the system with all their health problems. And then they have the audacity to bitch and moan about doctors telling them many of their health problems would be solved or at least significantly improve if they lost weight.

I think school has a important role in guiding kids in health and diet.

Last week I worked with some woman who studied 3 years in the USA, she told me that at campus of the 5 restaurants they had, 4 of them sold fast food.

My daughter goes to a ‘fit school’ (coincidentally it’s the closest school to our home) meaning kids get fruit on a daily base, there’s a dietician available for parents and children, extra gymnastic lessons and it’s actually forbidden to bring candy or soda to school, unless it’s for some birthday or special occasion.

I don’t see why schools shouldn’t stimulate a healthy diet, after all students in every age group consume a lot during school.

I just don't understand what parents are doing today. When I was a kid I had to eat a week worth of vegetables to get a bag of chips out of my parents and most of my school friends (with few exceptions) too. And fatties were bullied 24/7. That wasn't so long ago? We truly live in a different world.

Feeding your kids shit and turning them into morbidly obese diabetics is a good thing? Lol

Straight up child abuse. Child protection services should be taking such kids away from their parents.
Most fat kids have fat parents aswel, they’re just a product of their environment. Parents never learned how to have a proper diet, and children become a victim of the stupidity of their parents.

I do think tho that there’s a big difference between Europe and the US in that regard.

Not to mention, parents didn’t let us sit around playing video games after school or on the weekends. Parenting has gone to shit.

How much of an excuse can that be though? Nobody doesn't know that obesity is terrible for you and what foods get you there. How can someone in a modern 21st century society claim ignorance of these things?

Fatties are addicts for sugar.

I believe that to be the parents' job, school imo ought to serve a very specific role and that is to provide a decent education which they clearly they don't in the US seeing how low they score when compared to other nation. School unions crave a red herring to distract from their total failure in their miasion. Not to mention, there are already plenty of kids who need specific diets kosher/halal/allergen free it just never ends.

I mean, the functional illiteracy rate of inner city Detroit is 47%… which means almost one in two people can’t read at the level of a 9-10 year old child and therefore can’t function properly in society.

People are dumb as fuck.

Allow? Not everything needs to be regulated, everything comes with a cost. Take bullying for example, i say it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

We regulate child abuse. Not sure how one can call feeding your kid shit, making them morbidly obese, and having them develop things like diabetes is anything other than child abuse? I see it as far more abusive parenting than parents who occasionally spank their children for misbehaving (not talking about beating your kids here, but minor physical discipline of the style that was pretty common until the last twenty years).

Agree with you about bullying. The threshold for what is currently called bullying is absurd, and most often children can sort these things out without strong intervention.

So my question with regards to mandating masks in Schools is: are you opposed to it in general? Or just with Covid-19 because it really isn’t very dangerous for kids and masks are at best only somewhat effective at stopping spread?

If a virus that killed 2-3% of kids who got it showed up and masks were shown to be at least somewhat effective in stopping it’s spread would you support masking then?

Nah man can't regulate people's diets, it's like this article i saw on Twitter:

No matter how noble you might think your intentions are some rights are unalienable.

As for your mask questions, if a virus killed that many kids i say they shouldnt even go to school. And if it were to remain over the long haul, then yeah any measure that lessens that would be welcome by all. I think people oppose these things because they dont trust the govt agencies, and are not convinced by the usefulness or need for masks.
