Exactly, that's the kind of thing that starts this heavy handed proceedure to inspect lunches. If all parents had a brain, it likely wouldn't have come to this. Glen Beck once said something to this effect: "When the people can't or won't do the right thing for themselves, government will eventually do it for them." That's how we got Social Security.

It's easy to get outraged by what others are trying to do to solve the epidemic of overweight and obese kids, but I would like to hear about any effective program or solution that has been put forward by Republicans. Anything other than telling kids to get up off their lazy butts and exercise? That's all we have and it's not enough.

We want the freedom to do whatever we feel like doing but when the hoards of overweight and obese get diabetes and countless other degenerative diseases, who's going to pay for it?

That's why I predicted, (on another website) about 9 years ago, that we would eventually get nationalized health care. I said: "It's just a matter of time." When you end up with a majority of people who are overweight and sick, and unable to afford health care, they will demand "free" health care.
