Read all about it This is as liberal a spin as any I've seen; and it's on Foxnews.com no less. It is basically a small diatribe about how the government, and schools, and government programs are failing to address the growing issue of obesity in children. I have been to a number of baseball games this year. You know what I see at every single game? Parents and children. You know what the children are eating? Peanuts. Cotton candy. Gigantic hot dogs. Nachos. All at the same game! There's a pudgo family who sits behind us who sits there and orders this stuff constantly from the in-seat service (these are club seats I'll have you know...thanks iGanja!). From the minute the National Anthem is done to the final pitch in the 9th inning, this family is eating eating eating. The daughter, who appears to be about 10, is already just plain fat. Their son is on his way (he appears to be about 8). So I'd like some liberal nutball to tell me how a government program or a teacher or a school can counter a family like that. What, you're going to beat the kids up all day while the idiotic parents stuff their faces all night? How's that going to help? If that mother can't see what a fat pig her daughter is, no school program will change that. No amount of funding, no nothing. Who knows where this fat-kid 'epidemic' will stop, if it ever does. But I assure you, until parents like that wake the fuck up, it definitely will not. And no government program will wake them the fuck up either, I am certain.

Amen sister! I have a great example of government trying to fix the "fat kid" problem at my beautiful (and slender) children's school. Saddleback Valley School District has instituted a new policy where they will not allow cupcakes or other sweets be brought in to the classroom to celebrate children's birthdays. In fact, they have even reduced the number of parties in the classroom to three. WTF?! Okay, it's like they're chipping away at everything that is great about being a kid. Why don't they just pull the fat slob kid's parents aside and tell them to quit feeding their kids junk or else they're going to report them to CPS?

Here here sister! What is the deprivation of a cupcake going to do if the kid is going home to buckets of fried chicken and plates of big macs? Nothing!

And how much *more* screwed up will a kid be to be told all day long in school that they can't have a cupcake cuz they're fat only to go home to parents who are fattening them up as though they're the wicked witch in hansel and gretel? It's insanity!
