Why aren’t the politicians talking about one of the greatest issues facing America. The Obesity rate and our unhealthy population

[Woodznutz]

Really? Government should tell us how to eat now?

They already do. Haven't you seen the USDA food 'pyramid'?

That's a fucking chart, not any kind of obligation.

 

[Woodznutz]

Heavy kids aren't "disruptive," and everyone deserves an education. Shove your segregationist bullshit right back up your ass.

Your misunderstanding and false assumptions have got you all riled up.

I didn't say they were. I said they should have their own lunchroom, if they eat school food, the food should be portion/calorie controlled. When in school kids are under 'care and control' of the state. The state should do their due diligence regarding their welfare.

And, I doubt if you would allow continuously disruptive kids to remain in your classes.

 

[Woodznutz]

That's a fucking chart, not any kind of obligation.

Of course not. Telling you what you should eat isn't making you eat it. Fat kids can have the same food as the other students, but not as much of it, if it's under the control of the school. Of course this must be done in cooperation with the parents.

Your own words.

Shut the fuck up and go make some chicken pot pie, Michelle.

If Michelle had suggested food like chicken pot pie her program might have succeeded.

 

[Woodznutz]

Your own words.

But I'm not riled up.

 

[Unkotare]

... I said they should have their own lunchroom,...

Because you're an idiot.

 

[braalian]

Schools shouldn’t be offering unhealthy options period.

It’s a free country and if kids and parents want to bring in junk food from home as a cold lunch, whatever.

But can anyone give me one good reason schools should have fast food or junk food vending machines or soda machines at all?

 

[Woodznutz]

Because you're an idiot.

Perhaps the schools can help with this problem.

By 2030, nearly half of all U.S. adults will be obese, experts predict

By 2030, nearly half of U.S. adults will be obese, including the nearly 1 in 4 who will have severe obesity. The obesity rate will surpass 50% in 29 states.

They could start by putting all fat teachers on probation to lose weight. A fat teacher is giving their students permission to also be fat.

 

[dblack]

By you I mean your local political party in charge of the school board.

Ok

 

[dblack]

They already do. Haven't you seen the USDA food 'pyramid'?

They should stop. That's not what government is there for.

Oh come on. Now you’re just being ridiculous

You're never going to be the dictator you want to be. Go ask Kim Jong Un to adopt you.

USDA is promoting agricultural by promoting overeating.

News flash. Laws are dictates. Those who make laws are dictators. Therefore, we are governed by dictators. However, in a democracy we get to elect our dictators.

"Legal behavior follows the dictates of laws, which are written down and interpreted by the courts. In decision making, determining the legality of a course of action is facilitated by the existence of statutes, regulations, and codes. Unlike ethical considerations, there are established penalties for behaving in a way that conflicts with the law."

 

[dblack]

USDA is promoting agricultural by promoting overeating.

Yep. We shouldn't tolerate that.

 

[Blaster]

Many politicians are fat and out of shape and really can't tell anyone to eat healthy when they are in such pitiful condition.

 

[dblack]

News flash. Laws are dictates. Those who make laws are dictators. Therefore, we are governed by dictators. However, in a democracy we get to elect our dictators.

The important question is the scope and reach of those laws. Should we allow the dictators we elect to pass laws telling us how to eat? I think that's a bizarre invasion of privacy.
