Seriously, dude.......How are you any different? Everybody gets so wrapped in hating each other. How is your desire for the deaths of the right wingers any different from the Old School moron or any of the other hate mongers?

So some of you guys are actually AGAINST making sure a kid gets at least one decent meal a day? Should we go back to the days of your Savior Reagan and call catsup a vegetable?

Ah the good ole days, when everything was perfect. By golly, things were just PERFECT back then. Of course, the average life span was much shorter, and the number one killer of men was industrial accidents (getting killed on the job is SO chinese!). Keep moving backwards, that's what I always say!

Funny you should mention that.

My kids were watching some kids news thing on Niceloden, with Linda Ellerbee as host. One of the kids they spotlighted was getting free school lunches because his mother was on public assistence. His mother was a diabetic and, for some unexplain reason, was disabled to the point where she couldn't work. As the report went, they noted that the kid sometime had to go hungry because he'd only get two meals a day on average, and those came from the school lunch program (or whatever they're calling it now).

The only problem with that statement was that the kid was some 20 lbs overweight.

Then there was a cashier I saw at a local Kroger who was advising a foreigner about what foods were and were not accepted by the WIC program (I think that was the one). I'll tell you this: it was pretty clear that she wasn't starving to death. In fact, it'd take about 50 years before she reached that point.

Childhood obesity is a problem. It is most likely spawned by these food giveaway programs instituted by the federal government.

I would venture to say it's more because of WHAT they are eating, not how much. You are entirely wrong in your statements above Jpotts. It's the food we eat that makes us fat, not how much of it. This is WHY some parents need to have their food choosing priveleges taken away.

Hey oldschool, do you need to inject racial hatred into every thread? Your ignorance shows when you use pet names for Muslims. It shows your lack of education, intellect, ability to reason cognatively without prejudice, and basically the lack of evolution that you and your bloodline have expressed. Die off already, okay?

So....totalitarian government inserting itself into people's refrigerators is the answer to childhood obesity?
