Could President Sanders bring back JFK's Physical Fitness Program for kids? [View all]

[chknltl]

I remember as a child participating in this program, it was tougher than hell for me but I gave it my best anyway. With childhood obesity as a serious societal problem wouldn't it make sense to see something like this brought back into use?

Secondly, if this program actually does make current sense, could it not be a nice 'plank' to add to Senator Sanders' speeches in his bid for the nomination? I suspect the good Senator remembers this program as well as many of you here, I have to imagine that he is just as concerned about child obesity as everyone else is. I should add that discussions about getting such a program underway would quickly lead our nation into further discussions about what we are eating too.

Overall I think it is a non-partisan win for whomever starts talking about initiating such a program but maybe I've missed something, I'd like to hear what my fellow Sanders supporters think
