We're No. 1!

The Tribune reports that schools in Utah ply teens with more junk food than anywhere else in the nation.

Federal data from 2006 show Utah ranks the worst in the nation in the percentage of schools that offer candy, high-fat salty snacks, and soda pop. Could that have any connection with the fact that
9 percent of Utah teens are obese and 12 percent overweight?

A state Health Department epidemiologist Michael Friedrichs, says:
It's shocking to me. Other states have made progress in cutting [soda] out.
Friedrichs, of course, is woefully unaware of Eagle Forum studies that have shown massive doses of sugar block sexual thoughts in teens, making sex education unnecessary.
