Nutritional science as a school subject?

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Along with math, science and reading, should public schools be teaching kids about things like nutritional science? I've lamented the fact that financial and money management is not taught in many public schools these days, but neither is much about nutritional choices.

Are we setting kids up for failure by not equipping them with the most practical tools for survival in this country? That could be debated for years, but the simple fact is that taking care of oneself is probably the best goal one can have -- ever. But, how do we learn to do that?

It's generally up to the individual from what I have seen. But, a little help from the public education system would be welcome any time I think.
