An excellent result. I hope it continues to drop. Obese African American kids coming down with diabetes from eating too much sugar and empty carbohydrates was looking like one of the biggest health care challenges for the next generation.

It seems to me that comparing a school in 1959 to a school in 2009 would yield plenty of clues as to what had gone wrong. We had no candy machines, no soda machines, we had gym class every day, and food was less processed with less salt, real sugar not corn syrup, no trans fats, and less additives. This is probably a rare case where moving backwards instead of forwards could be a good plan of action.
