It is called the
freshman 15 and as the school year approaches and girls are considering going
to college, it is a very realistic prospect. There are several things happening
here. First, for many kids it is a time to be away from home, to eat on your
own. Secondly, there’s usually a food card of some sort, a voucher which allows
you to eat unlimited food. Finally, institutional food with gravy often is a
cheaper type of food to provide than healthy foods. The combination can be
deadly and includes a lot of weight gain, including that freshman 15.
We always
appreciate your comments.
