Health and Fitness Journal

Fitness is something that is completely undervalued in this country. I’m sorry, but as a mother of three children, I think I have the authority to say that it’s true. I’m now online, and I came across a healthy alternative at www.schoolsinstlouis.com to sending my kids to what I’ve come to think of as the “unhealthy norm” at schools here in Seattle.

Bernie, my youngest, can’t pull himself away from the Pepsis and Hostess chips available at the junk food vending machines placed on every floor of his junior high here. I placed several telephone calls to Mayor Nickels’ office regarding this issue, but so far I’ve received no response. I suppose he is more interested in filling potholes than tending to the health concerns of Seattle’s schoolchildren.

The Internet, thankfully, has once again come to my rescue. As a mom’s resource I don’t think one could have a better home helper. St. Louis looks like it offers a completely different attitude to health than what we have in Seattle. I’m planning on doing some thorough searches for quality schools, offering junk-free learning environments for my family.
