Childhood Obesity (12) - Health Education and Physical Education

Teaching healthy eating habits should itself be a subject in the Elementary Curriculum, independent of the current “Health and Physical Education” subject.

This is the joint responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Health Canada for both developing the contents of the subject as well as administering the subject. This will give the “Health” aspect and the “Physical Education” aspect more emphasis in terms of more allotted time for educating our children its importance to healthy living.
