So in December 2010 Obama signed the "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010" which is attacking unhealthy foods in schools across the U.S. And with good reason, right now 17% of children in the U.S. are obese, not overweight, full-on fat-as-shit obese. The problem is that unhealthy foods make schools more money, something that cannot be overlooked as schools are stuck between doing the right thing and not being bankrupt.
Of course critics of big government are bitching already. Rep Ken Ivory (R) from Salt Lake City says, "If Washington can decide whether you can have a brownie in Tooele, Utah, what can't they decide?" Well dude, if you taught your fat-ass kids to go outside and play instead of sitting in the cafeteria hounding down Little Debbies by the fistful maybe the government wouldn't have to step in. That's one thing I don't understand about these people against government intervention. Maybe if YOU taught your kids to be healthy than the govenment wouldn't have to. It's called being a parent. The full story from Time.
Another thing, if you can't stand your kid being healthy, then pack them a lunch full of shit. The government can't go into your home and say what you pack your kid. So throw a PSP and a fuckin' Pork Rind sandwich in their bag and shut the fuck up. Jesus Christ.
