Perhaps if Rhee hadn't closed most neighborhood schools, then the children could walk or bike to school. perhaps instead of providing processed food for the children to eat, they actually had kitchens and personnel who could cook, then healthier choices would be available for the children to eat. Mary Cheh and her social engineering by legislation needs to move to Germany, that's where they like that kind of thing.
