:59:01
Once. One day a week.
For 45 minutes.
:59:04
Is that enough?
:59:06
No. Nowhere close.
:59:07
Not when the surgeon general
recommends that, at minimum,
:59:10
you need 30 minutes
of physical activity a day
:59:12
to maintain your weight
and a healthy well-being.
:59:15
So, once a week
is nowhere close.
:59:17
In 2001, president Bush
announced his presidency
:59:20
with sweeping education reform.
:59:22
The "no child left behind" act
:59:23
would now hold states
accountable
:59:25
for not having students who met
minimum education requirements.
:59:28
Apparently, we were not only
the fattest nation in the world,
:59:30
but we were quickly
becoming the stupidest.
:59:32
It may be sending a very
difficult message for schools.
:59:35
One of the reasons
recess is being cut back
:59:37
in elementary schools,
as I said earlier --
:59:39
that's being cut out so
they can prepare for the tests.
:59:42
and something I've said
to a couple of groups --
:59:44
we could end up with youngsters
who can read but who are fat.
:59:47
So we have "fat readers."
:59:49
The more and more
we put mandates on the school,
:59:51
to be very myopic
in their focus,
:59:53
we mitigate against
all of these other areas
:59:55
where they should be
devoting time and energy,
:59:57
including phys ed,
nutrition, health.
:59:58
these are all the things
being cut out.
1:00:00
Who in here can tell me
what a calorie is?
1:00:07
Something
you should watch.
1:00:09
Yeah.
You got that right.
1:00:12
Is it the fat
that goes through your, um...
1:00:17
What's a calorie?
1:00:18
Oh, Jesus.
1:00:19
A calorie is
an increment of, um...
1:00:24
Um, that's a good question.
1:00:26
Most of us know
what a calorie actually is.
1:00:28
I don't know.
1:00:30
Oh, wait.
1:00:31
Is a calorie some part of fat?
Like -- I don't know.
1:00:38
It's something that builds
up the fat in your body.
1:00:40
Calories are not good
1:00:42
It's the amount of --
1:00:43
See, I don't know.
1:00:44
I want to say it's the amount
of calories in a calorie.
1:00:47
I never pay no mind
to what calories are.
1:00:50
I just eat when I'm hungry,
and that's it.
1:00:52
If you can tell me
what a calorie is, go ahead.
1:00:55
A calorie is a measure
of the energy content of food,
1:00:59
and a calorie,
the kind that you usually see
