Of course, we now have good ole Dr. Phil to advise us! It's so sad that folks sit around on their duffs watching stuff like that, and think they are being informed.

The government should not be responsible for our kids, period. The only exception, of course, is in the case of abuse or neglect.

Overweight children will one day grow up and take responsibility for themselves--and they will decide to be fat or not.

I certainly feel sorry for overweight kids---but I don't want that pity to be turned into more government intrusion in our lives.

I feel bad for overweight kids because their dumba@@ parents are setting them up for diabetes and all other sort of nasties.

Why is it that parents suddenly do not know how to properly feed their children?

My husband has done a great imitation of Dr. Phil: "I'm an overweight, white guy, with a bad accent and I'm going to tell you how to lose weight."
