Well we sit for 7-8 hours in school...

They can explain why were unhealthy when they explain why a burger is 1$ and a salad is 5$.

[SkittyBruce]

But- how are you suposed to only spend 3 hours per day sitting WHEN SCHOOL WANTS YOU TO SIT DOWN NEARLY ALL THE TIME!?

[mrmapegotheth]

Try doing this in college, sitting 8+ hours a day in classes and having the on campus restaurants serving only junk food, aside from the one place that serves healthy food but charges $15 for a salad. It ain't so easy.

It's kinda hard not to be unhealthy when you're busy with school. In school you never walk, and you always sit because you have to and the lunches are sugary. Thanks school.

The sitting one isn't even a lot of peoples' faults whether it's school, college or desk jobs a lot of people don't have a choice?

[septipliershipper]

It's kind of hard to only sit for 3 hours a day when you have seven classes that you're required to sit down for....

[lauratanner]

I can't help how long I sit on weekday because of school

[Zipzapadam]

3 hours? 

Schools make us fat, we sit all day long.

[intensitydigital]

I love that the recommended time for sitting is 3 hours but schools REQUIRE students to sit for at least 7.  In the US

[kasa]

I sit atleast six hours a day because school

[abbyalsop]

the recomended time for sitting is three hours? tell that to school!!!

[lyrisea]

Sitting? Really? 3 hours? If you're going to school you're usually are sitting more than that. o_o At least in Canada. No wonder we're unhealthy. School made us so. (Insert joke here)

[MrsJuba]

when you are in school of course you are going to have way more than 3 hours sitting!

[HoopsMcGoops]

How can anyone go to school if you can't sit down for over three hours a day!?

I mean, now they're contradicting themselves: be healthy (don't sit for over three hours) VS go to school (sit and learn for SIX hours)

It just doesn't work...

[HSquirrelMonkey]

School must be bad then because we sit pretty much all day long.

[abcxyz]

SCHOOL IS UNHEALTHY TOO! 😡 THEY MAKE US SIT FOR 8-10 FCKNG HOURS. THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS STAND WHENEVER THERE ARE NO TEACHERS OR IF IT'S BREAK OR LUNCH.

[shotgun]

well if you wouldn't post such diabetic recipes that would help buzzfeed

[cupcakes]

We sit nearly all day In class (6 hours) Well we get 15 mins of break-time and 20-25 mins of lunch break

[julianarules]

so....school is officially unhealthy with all of the sitting and sugar....i'm not surprised :/
