Students may get a dose of good oil

Students may get a dose of good oil :

"'The focus in SA is on providing good nutrition through our public schools and combating childhood obesity,' he said."

I was given a dose of milk at school as a child. An omega fish oil tablet? I don't feel very happy about this. Firstly doses of vitamins are not te same for all people. Secondly, some children could be allergic to the other matter in the tablets. Thirdly it is about nutrition. Teach people to cook proper meals. Teach parents to provide a proper diet for their family. If fish oil tablets can be proven beyond doubt to be of help...then bring the price down and let food products be in the family home. Children need to eat, sleep, learn and play well. It's about teaching them a lifestyle not propping up dysfunction. No, I think this is all weird to me...like the bread and milk with omega 3 added. Let's just eat properly, shall we?
