Should we teach children in middle school a mandatory nutrition cl?!?

I wholeheartedly believe that when the economy gets better our government should invest in a plan that every middle school will have a mandatory nutrition cl every 2 or so weeks or for a trimester or whatever. I see children getting heavier and heavier, it kills me to think that this is supposed to be the longest living generation and so many kids are clueless on nutrition and healthy eating/exercise. Thoughts?
