All I know is that our nation is or rather HAS become the fattest, most inactive, slobbiest nation the world has ever seen. and in my opinion we need all the help we can get, though for us adults its probably too little/too/late anyway..  Maybe kids can benefit from our adult stupidity. 
Sorry for the rant, but I just got home from the mall where I seriously wondered if the concrete would possible hold up some of the weight slowly  waddling across it! 

      Ha Ha, have wondered that myself many times, sometimes they have to use a cart to get across the mall because a knee problems and whatever related to their fatness

the good news is you can, by the time these politicians get done making laws and new bills and whatever else these POS do, you wont even be able to buy toilet paper.

What ever happened to stick your finger through the toilet paper, wipe with your finger, then use the toilet paper to clean off your finger?

This is funny that it came out at this time. We are getting ready to reup our heath care at work and they are going to charge a monthly surcharge of $50.00 max $100 if you use tabacco products. I just don't see how they can infringe when it is not illegal. I wonder if you do both if it is $100? They even bring up obesity will they start charging for every pound over what your perfect weight is? Where does it stop?

This is kind of like the potatoes in schools controversy.   Considering the HUGE increase in childhood obesity, obviously parents and fast food jointsare not doing their job!  So like encouraging immunizations (eat your heart out Bachman!) and other public health efforts to try to improve the health of the nation, praticularly the kids, stuff like   trying to limit kids intake of oil soaked high calorie fdeep fried potatoes, to me represents a good intention, even if the people who need the education the most won't followup up on good advice and healthy patterns that are being tried to be put across in schools. Easier for a fat partent to say "my kids are fat like me - it must be genes!"   Jesse Ventgura had it right "Fat people say its their GLANDS!  They're right, its their SALIVARY GLANDS!' 
Of yeah, I forgot - RIGHTS!  Yep, where do you draw the line?  I honestly don't know, though everyone has their own opinion.  All I know is that there isn't enough money in the entire country to make a dent on our future health care bills wiith Obamacare, or with responsible self pay-care or anything else you young guys better dream up for 20 - 30 years from now.!  You'll all pay dearly one way or another!  Totally unaffordable.

What's bad about trying to reduce some of the obvious blatent terrible health producing causes?   After all, EVEN RUSH will sometimes quietly acknowlege that smoking 'might' cause lung cancer, though he claims NOT heart disease and other vasc ular disease!  WOW.  Or that too much sunlight and tanning has nothing to do with  melanomas, which are skyrocketing in good old USA.    ??smartest guy in the world?
