Just yesterday I was discussing this issue with my wife. Here we have “Physical Education” in schools, which is mostly kids doing exercises or some kind of sport activity in school, a couple of hours per week. This is surely fine, but I’d also like kids being taught the right way to eat, things to avoid, things to limit… I think it would be an investment for the future, which could avoid a lot of problems related to bad eating habits.

Wtf? You arent taught this? I learned it growing up in Canada and my kids are too, here in Japan.
I’m pretty positive that, although teacher may casually mention it, that’s not a specific topic in school. And it should be.
I strongly agree! The current food pyramid experiment isn’t working.
