...most kids don't have access to programs featuring exercise, nutrition and counseling,...
That is utter BS. Schools have physical education classes. In fact, they probably devote more resources to PE and sports than they do to teaching history, geography and science. In my day, I had PE 4 days a week and Health classes 1 day a week. In health class we learned nutrition, among other things.
And where are the parents? Seems to me the parents should be able to give their children proper nutritious meals, restrict the amount of food they eat, and take away the video games so the kids go out and play. This is another case of parents abdicating their parental responsibilities and looking to government to raise their kids.
