In other news, healthy eating kids have started ipod-selling businesses on ebay <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
:: EDIT:;
Fishsticks too, haev these as well.
We could look at it this way....they (teachers and pro-healhy eaters) either take it away (from people who are now eating junk food) on sight or well....leave it, making the healthy eating thing pretty useless.
But I'd do it for the X-Box though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But less fun for those involved

It'd be fun for the people who got to tell the kids.

My friends got one from that.
Saying that tho, the food at the Fuel Zone is horrible both the healthy and unhealthy stuff, so i walk the 10m distane home at lunch instead.

If you ever become superintendent(sp) of a school, please for the love of God hire me.
You think that's bad? What if they sold their I-Pods and Xboxes so that they could buy junk food?
