Big Brother Fines Utah HS for selling soda

[Dr.Drock]

gov does regulate physical fitness in public schools

For a handful of months in a 4 year period.

We need it year round, force the kid to get on the treadmill, if he steps off of it, fine the school.

 

[The T]

Let me get this straight....

You are pro bad nutrition?

How good of you to come in and use your screwed up logic skills to reach this conclusion.

It only proves why the left should not be in charge.

Chrissy forgets about liberty every time.

 

[MuadDib]

Of course, we're talking about the same government that tried to stop kids from working on the family farm, even though that's good physical activity that will exercise them and teach them critical thinking skills, and skills that can feed and sustain them.

You bet.

 

[paulitician]

It would be interesting to see what happens if these fines aren't paid. Would Big Brother storm these officials' homes and arrest them? I have a feeling they would. What a country we're becoming.

 

[Star]

Heres the deal.

school is government property.

Soda is teeth rotting crap.

Gov't should also force kids to get on a treadmill.

Gov't should also force kids to eat their vegetables, if they don't, have a bureacrat on standby to force feed the kid against his will.

Isn't that called PE class?

Do you mean the PE classes that have been seeing cutbacks all over the country during the past 30 years of a tax cutting culture?




With public schools cutting back on spending for physical education, some members of Congress want to intervene, worried that the nation's schools are churning out too many fat kids.

The cutbacks are happening across the country.
In Washington state, the Franklin Pierce School District in the Tacoma suburb of Parkland discovered that it could save a quarter-million dollars by reassigning its seven physical-education teachers to different positions.

If the American people are tossing in to make sure our kids get good nutrition, what the fuck are the wingnuts whining about?

And FUCK individual liberty right?

If gov't does as good of a job at regulating children's nutrition as they have regulating our economy and our education, the human species will go extinct.

 

[paulitician]

They should stand their ground and not pay the fines. However, another Waco-like debacle would likely occur. But hey, it's all for the children right? That's what Janet Reno said. Right before she burned and gassed all those children.

A perfect job? Nope. But it is totally stupid to try to give a child a good and healthy meal when Coke and Pepsi is also being served.

I have no problem kicking in to make sure our next generation is learning to eat properly.

Oh, and your silly contention that we'll go extinct is a joke. In your world, there can only be one on the dunghill, and that person can fuck themself.

 

[Synthaholic]

Info that I'm betting was left out of the OP:


Do as I do » Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, says the federal government is overreaching in fining two Utah high schools for making junk food too readily available to students during lunch time. All schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program and receive federal funds to help pay the cost of providing lunch to students must abide by the rules. And the rules aren’t that difficult to understand or follow. Still, Davis High School has been fined twice in the past few months for selling sodas and candy in the hallways adjacent to the lunchroom. Twice? Seems these educators are slow learners. And Box Elder High School, where Bishop once was on the faculty, did the same thing. Schools should be sending a message — both in and outside the classroom — that junk food is to be avoided. Obesity is at epidemic levels among children and teens, as well as adults. The feds aren’t at fault here; the schools and Bishop are failing to set an example that could help save the health of these kids.

No not a perfect job, a dismal job. As gov't regulation of what we eat and what type of education children get in the ares of fitness go up, so does childhood obesity.

If a high school teenager wants a pepsi he'll get one, no matter how many schools you want fined. You can either have a kid bring a pepsi from home or a gas station, or you can have him buy one at school at a vending machine that gives the school money in which they can use for sports which helps keep them healthier far more than any gov't regulated cheese would.

I was being sarcastic that we'll go extinct, the point is gov't regulation sucks across the board, so to advocate for more of it in this issue is retarded.

So the liberal head spinning would end with simply wheeling the vending machine to another hallway?

That's what this big "SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN" meltdown is over? What hallway the machine is in?

IOW's shortening the life spans of our children is OK with you as long as pop corporations and other agri-business' are free to poison our children with chemicals and additives like HFCS and other obesity causing products?

Obesity is plaguing America’s children with a multitude of health problems -- now there’s a new risk to be added to the list: shorter life expectancy. For the first time in history, the next generation will not live longer, or even as long, as their parents.

“Diseases such as Type II diabetes, high blood pressure, heart conditions and joint deterioration - what were once considered ‘adult’ diseases - are regularly being diagnosed in children, due to the prevalence of obesity,” said Jessica Bartfield, MD, internal medicine and medical weight-loss specialist at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, part of the Loyola University Health System.

The Republican Party is pro child abuse, pro cancer, pro gun killings, pro bad nutrition, pro pollution, pro discrimination toward women, etc....

Is there no evil in the world that the Republican Party won't support?
