"An Apple a Day is Not Enough" - a Poem by Taylor Mali An apple a day is not enough. Don t let me start preaching, But shouldn t the children of the country that s the wealthiest, Also be the children of the country that s the healthiest? That makes sense, you d think that would be true, I know I would. I m just saying. Wouldn t you? But that s not the case with our kids these days. Kids health is declining in all kinds of ways. We need to improve it. We can and we will. But it starts with thinking of health as a skill. A 21st century skill that you practice. Practice makes perfect. The unhealthy can t hack this. We ve got to teach our kids by example every day, And it s tough because people stop listening when they think they know what you re going to say. Like, drink more water. Eat more vegetables (especially the dark leafy green ones). Eat less sugar. Don t drink soda (especially the sugary caffeine ones). Stop watching TV. Go Less
