I had a certain friend (who is on hubski but I won't name names) who lived an entire year of high school having a diet coke for breakfast every day. Sometimes he would also have a snickers. Other than a fun anecdote - I'm not sure I have a point. I'm glad you are teaching them about nutrition. I hope they are at least made aware of their choices and can start to make conscious ones. Don't beat yourself up if the Big Texas cinnamon rolls and sugar drinks still flow. Educated, grown adults (myself included) make terrible decisions every day regarding nutrition. I've heard that the adolescent brain is nearly incapable of actually internalizing long term consequences. I don't know how true that is. I might wager that the human brain of almost any age isn't good at it. anyway - good on ya for working it in there. It's super important - especially for athletes who want to perform. I hope at least one kid takes it to heart. Keep making a difference blackbootz. You're the friggin man.
