"An Apple a Day Is Not Enough" is a powerful poem written and performed by Taylor Mali (a well-known spoken word artist and teacher) about the importance of health education. It's done in the style of kinetic typography. We must get the word out about the importance of health education and its ability to get this country's health back on track-but we can't do it alone. Please share this video: Forward it, blog about it, like it on Facebook and send it to your Twitter followers. We'd also love to hear your thoughts on the issue in the comments below.

Incredible. I am a strong health advocate and I'm in school to educate myself as well as others about this issue we have in this world. The way we overlook our health as if it's negligible needs to change. It's our lives and our Earth at stake. THIS needs to exposed to EVERYONE because health education is equally as important as academics, if MORE SO.

So true, my father has been teaching elementary school for about 7 years now, and he works incredibly hard. Putting in 10 hours a day at his school, working at home another 3 hours, on the weekends and when his school is on summer and winter break. Most of his students pass, yet many more fail and continue to fail because their parents don't care if their kids get bad grades or educated. School is just a place they can dump them off at and not worry or take responsibility and parent their kids.

It would be great if both could do their part, sitting for most of the day at a desk in school isn't helping the problem at all it is just making it worse. You forget more than half the things you learn in school any ways and most kids hate going, so why go at all if the whole educational system is a joke?

because eventually adults delude themselves into thinking that it's enjoyable, and then keep making laws that require either public, private, or home schooling, with the same dumb subjects which, while sometimes interesting, are taught with methods *nobody likes* and the same dumb tests and exams which *even fewer people like.*

@pastelpinnacle3955
@pastelpinnacle3955 3 года назад
It's a poem designed to try to convince people that the only way to be and stay healthy is to remove the things that make life worth living, like sugar, screen time, and not having a heartbeat permanently stuck in the upper echelons of the 170s. I think that some people who are doing just fine don't want to have their parents and family force "health" on them via taking away the things that prevent the dark spiral of depression from how fucked up the world is. Also, the poem lies when it says that America is the wealthiest country, unless he's addressing Qatar. I'm not saying that health isn't good, but a poem that says that health means making life shit is not a poem I like. I can also assume that many of the angry comments are from kids who were force-fed this poem in class and automatically barf it back up because they *don't want anything that school tells them to do.*

This is dumb because a large portion of our country is poverty stricken immigrants, and those of different creeds than the original Caucasian men that lived here, here being the youth of America this poem reefers to. Mexico being the fattest country has over 50,000,000 of their people (citizens being of mexican decent) in America. Its not Americans so to say the country thats the healthiest should also be the wealthiest is misleading. I feel this piece was well put together but lacked facts and was no that moving.
