7 Things We Can Do.
Bring Back the Scales
• Children to be weighed each year at school
• Everyone to be weighed at each GP visit
• Everyone to be weighed at each hospital
visit
Step It Up
• All parents should know exactly how much
exercise their children need to do on a daily
basis
• This should be presented to parents in a way
that is easy to understand and easy to
monitor
Fruit At The Check Out
• High sugar confectionary and drinks to be
replaced with fruit at the checkout in shops
and supermarkets
Food Education
• Cooking lessons to be given to children at
school
• Every child should leave the education
system knowing how to cook a number of
basic but nutritionally balanced meals
Fit at School, Fit for Life
• 100 extra PE teachers to support primary
level schools across the country
• For PE to be taken seriously at second level
give it points on the Leaving Cert.
Count Me In
