Well that’s just it, isn’t it?

I’d like to say this is a really complicated issue, but it really isn’t. Sometimes, things really are simple. They just aren’t easy. That’s the case here.

Moving snacks to a different location won’t matter in the slightest in the grand scheme of things. You can Do Better, Berkely.

Pass an ordinance that everybody loddy doddy in Berkely has to show up for a weigh in. Some people have an issue. Some people don’t. Some people need to gain weight, in fact.

Any body however, who exceeds the weight limit on the published height & weight table for their age and sex is now prohibited by the City of Berkely from purchasing those items. We’ll be Watching You, Comrade. You know, just like Basic Training.

I remember watching in amazement about 5 Drill Instructors who zoomed in out of nowhere on a fat guy (morbidly obese) in the mess hall. He’d snuck a piece of pie or something. Danged if that guy wasn’t slim and trim at the end of training. He was very proud, too.

The problem with do gooders and that ilk is, if one person &@$ts their pants, then by golly we all gotta wear diapers. Focus on the people who have problems. They need it.

These are folks who want to LOOK like they are busy “doing something”; or “making a difference” but they don’t want to do the hard work entailed to accomplish anything substantial. And they sure as hell don’t want to endure the howls of outrage from people who are stuffing their face with “unhealthy” foods. Ultimately, being fat is a choice, for the most part.
