I listened to an interview of a pediatrician who was commenting on the movement in schools to remove chocolate milk from the menu because it is harmful. He commented on the obesity problem in children while he was well over weight.
It is not about the food we eat or drink as much as it is about our ability to regulate to control our eating and drinking as well as exercise and thinking.
John Locke the first educator philosopher indicate years ago that the goal of education is to teach children the capacity to "self-control" or self-regulate. So let's get that back into the classroom and worry less about chocolate milk.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
