It's a smart strategy: show schoolchildren to make better choices about foods and nutrition by teaching them the principles of the South Beach Diet. Beyond merely helping these children lose weight and avoid obesity, this diet will also improve their academic scores, improve attendance, and help moderate disruptive behavior (especially among young boys).

More public schools need to get involved in adopting healthy food choices, banning soft drink vending machines, and encouraging schoolchildren to make healthier choices.
