WAR ON FAT!

If you're a parent, how would you like to get the following letter:

Dear Sir or Madam...Your child is fat...Please do something about it, or else...Sincerely, The British Government...

In England, parents of overweight kids are being sent official warnings as part of a government crackdown on childhood obesity...Pre-teen children are being weighed at school with the results becoming part of their permanent record...

A British Department of Health spokesman said: "We need to take this farther..." How much "farther" does he want to take this: All the way to a Fat Kid Concentration Camp

Why can't parents weigh their own kids? Make their own decisions...Adjust their children's diets...Let them eat junk foods, or not...Or, put them in a sports program if they want to...After all, government doesn't have the right to raise someone else's kids...Do they?

So far this nutty idea hasn't made its way to America...But, it's being talked about...

The War On Fat takes us to America where anti-junk food crusader Harold Goldstein told The Sacramento Bee in 2004 that "Americans simply can't be trusted with the complex task of feeding themselves."

If we can't feed ourselves then whom?

Folks, there are dozens of liberty-robbing do-gooders who want warning labels on candy bars...This Eat Healthy Or Else crowd has already fined a public school in Austin, Texas for selling potato chips...

These food monitors, backed by trial attorneys, are proposing a fat tax on sodas with the proceeds funding an obesity task force...

Now does this mean they'll be hunting down fat people, or trying to cure them...? Joe Webb
