No one would dispute that our #1 job as parents has always been, and continues to be, protecting our children. Yet each year schools across the nation are responsible for conducting unhealthy fundraisers. The simple truth is *300,000 deaths occur each and every year from obesity related illnesses and even with childhood obesity rates at an all time high, schools continue selling cookie dough and candy fundraisers.
“But we need the money”
It seems most schools don’t realize how much damage one unhealthy fundraiser can inflict on a school and community.
