Also, you could say knowledge of nutrition would be just as beneficial as knowledge of physical exercise (lengthen life just as well), should there be a 4 year course for a nutrition class? I don't think either of those subjects will take 4 years to grasp.

There isn't really an unlimited amount of science classes that would have the potential impact that could be considered greater than the impact physical education would have on the country/society/person.
And yeah. I think physical education should include the subjects of nutrition and health. Since they all focus on pretty much the same thing and are interconnected.
One could argue that physical education is something that is beneficial to practice throughout one's entire life. People should get into the habit of trying to maintain a level of physical fitness. It's something that will always be beneficial to anyone, no matter who they are or what they choose to do with their life. And the more they know, the better off they are.
Where as taking a boat load of science classes may or may not be as beneficial to a person. If I'm planning to be a biologist then taking a fuck load of biology classes is helpful. If I'm planning to be an engineer than I'll need a lot of math. If I'm planning to pursue one of the thousands of jobs that don't require advanced levels of science or math, then they're not so helpful though.
