Just keep feeding them free food and handing over free cell phones, and paying for their housing and everything that goes with it, and everything will be A-OK!

Everyone is too fat or starving because of ‘food insecurity’ (their laughable term). They need to make up their dumbass minds. I’m tired of hearing about things that are none of their business.

When I was a kid, we played football, baseball, basketball, rode our bikes, skateboarded, roller skated and ran around the neighborhood. We couldn’t have been overweight if we wanted to. And PE was pretty intense back in the 60s - President Kennedy’s Council on Youth Fitness.

New Frontiers for Fitness

John F. Kennedy showed his commitment to improving the nation’s fitness even before he took the oath of office. After the election, he published “The Soft American” in Sports Illustrated. The article established four points as the basis of his proposed program, including a White House Committee on Health and Fitness; direct oversight by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; an annual Youth Fitness Congress to be attended by state governors; and the assertion that physical fitness was very much the business of the federal government.

Only a month after the inauguration, the new administration convened a conference on physical fitness, reorganized the President’s Council on Youth Fitness, and chose a new director, Charles “Bud” Wilkinson, a highly successful University of Oklahoma football coach. True to Kennedy’s style, the new executive for the council was named a special consultant to the president. The president’s council unquestionably became President Kennedy’s council.

I’ve seen some pretty big kids in Singapore, lately. Judging by the ubiquitous 800-calorie cake slices at Starbucks over there, they are learning all the wrong lessons from the USA. :)
