In HS the football team was required by the head coach to run the mil in 5:15 for backs a receivers and 5:55 for linemen or you didn't play.

I don't believe that the rest of out school had a requirement other than they had to have an hour of PE every day of the week for all 4 years of HS. After 10 grade though you could opt for weightlifting instead of regular PE though.

I remember I qualified for the red one (which was crappier iirc) I also remember that due to BS mismanagement I never got the fucking thing

But realistically 30 mins of "exercise" for a kid might burn about 300 calories. How about you stop serving 1200 calorie meals?

Do you know how ridiculously easy it is just to NOT EAT UNTIL YOU EXPLODE.

I'm not sure it's the calorie intake amount, because when I was a kid I eat everything, but was a skinny as a rail. The problem is where these calories are coming from. As in the HFCS thread, there is alot of crap that we are dealing with today (HFCS, hormones in meat, pesiticides, carbs in everything) that the older generations did not have to deal with. This and the fact that kids sit behind a computer when they get home instead of playing outside.
