But unlike his campaign to end smoking, he is advocating only voluntary measures at this point.

Operative words........"at this point"........sounds very familiar!

she Lion is not the only one that has been loudly warning against just this for ages and ages.........

Will the smoking police now become food police?

Will kids spy on their parents and tell the authorities if they eat potato chips?

Will neighbors peer out the windows to see what's cooking on the grille?

Will children be removed from their homes if too much sugar and fat is served?

Will forced marches and mandated exercise encourage us to get off of our couches?

The sad thing about all of the above is that some of this might happen.

I'm a slim smoker and I really think the entire thing is quite funny. Thank God the government has decided to demonise another group of people.

From my oldies file.

FAT

The real problem is physics.

Girth is determined by an individuals resistance to atmospheric pressure (ap). My resistance to ap is low therefore the pressure pushes on my surfaces making me appear slim. Fat people have a high resistance to ap so they spread out. Light people have a high resistance to gravity. Heavy people have little resistance to gravity.

Food has nothing to do with it. We can balance the scales by banning atmospheric pressure and gravity.

"Stop the atmospheric pressure and gravity now! It's for the children!"
