Contending that obesity is a bigger threat than Islamic terror, White House chef and food initiative coordinator Sam Kass says that combating this threat will be a major focus of the president’s second term.
“Let’s face it, too many of us are too darn fat,” Kass observed. “Given the opportunity to freely choose their own diets a distressingly large percentage consistently make the wrong choices. Preventing these wrong choices is crucial to the collective health and well-being of our society.”
Of course, preventing wrong choices is a daunting task in a free country. Kass hinted that indoctrinating youth would be one way to make this happen. “In the First Lady’s ‘Let’s Move’ program I’ve seen kids dancing and cheering for vegetables,” Kass remembered. “Getting adults to join in is the next step.” For those skeptical about the prospect of adults dancing and cheering for vegetables, Kass pointed out that “they do it in China.”
Kass declined to speculate on whether a so-called “fat tax” might be enacted, but argued that it could be very persuasive. “If you’ve got to pay more for every pound of blubber you add you’ll think twice about having a cheese burger or a dessert,” Kass maintained. “In my opinion, issuing an Executive Order imposing such a tax is something President Obama should consider.”

He’s doubled the cost of energy in the first term, as promised. For his 2nd he will double the cost of food. Health through starvation, he wants us to be like NK.
It should be in big letters in the title. There are always a few who get caught before the scam is foiled.
Hmm....I wonder what that loudmouth Charles Barkley thinks about the great leader now.
BO is targeting you..... fat boy!!! What???You going just sit there and take it like a wimp???
I want to see if Charles will have the balls to call out Barak for this intrusion into other people lives.
It’s both.

Barkley has lost 45 lbs and is doing commercials for WW.
He’s on the inside of Baraq’s plan.
And teach them to be good commie perverts at the same time. It would likely be a religious camp first, though, teaching all the dear children to worship "the One".
Let's pray he doesn't get that second term!!!
