you should watch that movie... supersize me. obesity should not be treated as a joke. i see parents let there children eat unhealthy processed foods, sit on there arse, watch mind numbing TV, then wonder why they have ADHD, and increased health risk problems. please. parents know the problem stems from their behaviour, and as a nation of lazy fat couch potatoes, too afraid to get off there arse and do the hard work... you deserve your arteries to be clogged and for your child to cry on your shoulder because noone likes him because he smells from being so fat. can't walk let alone run... this is not a joke. healthy = happy.

I agree that obesity is not a joke. But I don't think it's a reason to turn child-rearing over to the gov't.
I didn't see that movie, because my understanding of the movie is that it tries to make McD's look responsible for this guy's weight gain, and that's just not true.

If we can't each be responsible for our own life and health, then our country is doomed. I'm not ready to go there.
