Yeah. Setting habits for lifetime fitness ain't all bad.
You know it wouldn't hurt if they also spent a little time teaching "how to make nutritious/healthy meals for one -- on a budget." Or if they explained the up- and down-side tradeoffs of various foods. (I.e., when I got out of high school, I didn't realize that peanuts were high in fat, so I considered eating a whole jar of Planter's to be a healthy high-protein meal. In retrospect: Man, I was an idiot. Of course, with Atkins institutionalizing large-scale idiocy, perhaps I was merely ahead of my time.)
