This epidemic also impacts the nations security, as obesity is now one of the most common disqualifiers for military service. ------------------------------------------- This aspect of her initiative gave me pause.
Tho I am all for encouraging a healthy diet, I wonder if in addition to more control over our lives thru laws affecting our children, the administration is looking to improve the quality and quantity of worker bees for the administration's national service agenda?
Am I being too cynical? Thots?

No doubt the public schools will be recruited to *help* this cause by being forced to report obese children so parents can be contacted and *helped* in their efforts to trim their children’s weight.
You know what this means......

It’s just about more control. I don’t really think they’re concerned with how fit the worker bees are cause with unlimited immigration there will always be more to fill in the ranks.
Did I beat you in cynical?

A threat to our national security? No Michelle the people your husband is bowing to are a threat to our national security. Fat kids are not. Oops I said fat and that’s not very PC.

Liberals must feel good about themselves...this way, Michelle has found something that will make her feel good about herself, rather than actually doing a good deed or two.

So her husband sets up a task force to study obesity and she says, "This isnt like a disease where were still waiting for a cure to be discovered we know the cure for this, Obama said. This isnt like putting a man on the moon or inventing the Internet. It doesnt take some stroke of genius or feat of technology."
Kind of slapped him in the face didn't it?

Personally, I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been completely homeschooled from the beginning. Yes, I know that some likely exist, but they can't be many.
