Amen to that-yank their snouts out of the trough and they get off their butts. We moved to this rural community from SA about 1 1/2 ago, and the only fat kids we see any more are the ones we see on our way to work in the city. There aren't many fat adults out here, either, but the welfare queens can't afford to live here-there are no "projects", no section 8 housing and even a trashy trailer or an old converted feed barn on a ranch carries an outrageous pricetag, because no one wants the widespread crime, drugs and prostitution associated with those people. Kids out here are involved in sports, FFA, etc and families still sit down to a home cooked meal at night.
Inquiring minds would like to know why a 6 year old needs shrimp scampi?
