According to Kidshealth.org, “Eating disorders are so common in America that one or two out of every 100 students will struggle with one. Each year, thousands of teens develop eating disorders, or problems with weight, eating or body image.” Do you know people with eating disorders? What can you do if you have a friend with an eating disorder or if you suspect that you may have a problem yourself? Do media images reflect what ordinary people look like? Do these images contribute to eating disorders? Have your teacher split your class into small groups. Discuss these ideas with your group members. Look in e Record for images in advertisements or pictures that glorify thinness or unhealthy body types. With your group, compile a list of movies and television shows that glorify thinness or unhealthy body types. Make a separate list of movies and television shows that celebrate body diversity. Look for ads and photos in the Times that celebrate body diversity. Write an editorial based on your findings. St. Johnsbury Pediatrics 97 SHERMAN DRIVE ST.

Many health experts say it’s because kids don’t get as much exercise as kids of the past. But a new study has found that exercise isn’t the problem. e study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University has found that kids today get about the same amount of exercise as kids 20 or more years ago. e problem is that they are eating more – especially more highfat, high-sugar, high-calorie foods. Kids who eat a lot of these foods have to exercise more to burn off the extra calories they contain. Exercise comes in many forms, and not all of it is the kind you get playing on sports teams. Ask your teacher to split up your class into small groups. Search the stories, photos and ads in the electronic edition of e Record for examples of exercises kids could do with their friends or families. Create a public service announcement encouraging teens to exercise. Use a persuasive writing style for your message. Create a slogan for your campaign. Stay connected to Let’s Move! and share your ideas to raise a healthier generation of kids. “Dedicated to Your Good Health” 415 RAILROAD STREET, ST. JOHNSBURY, VT • 802-748-3122 12 Learning with e Record Going Organic Because of concerns about health risks, some people prefer not to eat produce that’s been grown with chemical aids. Organic farmers avoid using artificial pesticides and fertilizers to grow their crops. Look for articles in e Record about organic farming and produce. Do some research to find out more about organic farming and its methods. How are they different from the methods of conventional farming? Would you like to see more or less organic farming in the future? Why? Write a short editorial explaining your viewpoint. Be sure to back up your opinions with facts from your research.
