LOCAL DAD THINKS THE SCHOOL SHOULD POLICE WHAT HIS DAUGHTER'S EATING AT SCHOOL: http://www.10news.com/news/dad-angry-daughter-spent-120-on-junk-food-at-school
His eleven year old spends $120 on "junk food" and the blame's on the SCHOOL?

'HELPING' STARVING STUDENTS?

Is the USDA forcing school kids to diet? http://townhall.com/columnists/kyleolson/2012/09/23/complaints_mount_against_michelle_obamas_new_lunch_menu

THESE PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS, DEPT.

Researchers have calculated the world's peeps are 16 million TONS overweight...  amazed that earth hasn't fallen off its axis into deep space... http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/06/18/weight-world-researchers-weigh-human-population/?test=latestnews

THERE THEY GO AGAIN: New government fat experts now calculate the 42% of Americans will be obese by 2030. What's next for enforcement?  Forced-feeding "happy camps" where only sprouts are served? Where is all this leading?  http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/story/2012-05-07/obesity-projections-adults/54791430/1

EVERYTHING IN MODERATION: Doctors claim a woman's death was due to her heavy Coke habit... we're talking Coca-Cola http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/20/coca-cola-new-zealanders-death
Reminds me of the story a couple years ago about the dumb radio contest where the person who could drink more water tahn anyone would win.. that contestant died, too.

MEANWHILE: Keeping an eye on the Supreme Court and their upcoming decision on the mandate/Obamacare.  I would love to see Justice Scalia push more of his "Government could force you to eat broccoli" argument...

SO WHAT'S LEFT TO EAT?

All red meat is bad for us, say these experts. http://www.latimes.com/health/la-he-red-meat-20120313,0,565423.story  I guess we can't eat anything....maybe the packaging?  It has fiber! And what does Mrs. Obama have to say about this?

AMERICA IS MORE OBESE, SAY EXPERTS

OK, so stop eating as much. This is about personal responsibility, not an indicator that government needs to intervene. But if we don't stop the forced march to "Obamacare", all of these kinds of stories will not only be suggestions: http://www.gallup.com/poll/153143/Obese-Nearly-Metro-Areas.aspx
What's next, deploying a "Food FEMA" into areas with more than 15% obesity?

THE SODA POLICE ARE AT IT AGAIN

TRYING TO CLOG THE GOVERNORS ATERIES

Mrs. Obama, titular head of the Food Police does it again with a smooth "do as I say not as I do" presentation via White House chefs, serving up 2,000 calorie meals http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/02/27/michelle-governors-gorge-2000-calories/

THAT FRESH MILK ISN'T A GOOD IDEA

So says a new report  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/feb/21/feds-fresh-milk-150-times-dangerous-pasteurized/

NO WAY I CAN MAKE THIS UP

A pre-schooler brings a lunch from home only to be told it doesn't measure up... forcing "cafeteria nuggets" on the child instead http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/homemade-lunch-replaced-with-cafeteria-nuggets.html

OUR FOOD POLICE LOVE THIS CLASSIC SONG

SO LET'S COMPARE

Junk food in American schools makes kids fat:

Or not:

THIS OUGHT TO LET TERRORISTS KNOW WE'RE SERIOUS

Taliban and others will shake in fear, knowing we are cutting calories for our troops. Combine this with speedy instructions (even at forward operating bases) regarding the repeal of "Don't ask don't tell", and we can rest assured this administration understands priorities: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/09/usa-military-obesity-idUSL2E8D942X20120209

OF COURSE LOT'S WIFE MAY BE THE GOLD STANDARD

Yes, she was a "pillar" in the community, according to Biblical accounts.  But she never ate fast food. Hmm....
Anyway, your Food Police are now amping up to cut you back on SALT... using stats that they say shows 90% of us overdue sodium...

SOME CLARITY IN THE MIDST OF THE NANNY STATE PEOPLE

One lawmaker is pushing to keep the Federal government from using tax dollars to tell us what to eat.

HOW SWEET IT ISN'T

Now we're told sugar is even more horrible than we thought, the government should stop us from consuming it. And TAX us more if we don't stop consuming...  hey "France does it!", we're told.  And Mrs. Obama is telling us what to eat, of course. Fine for a "cause" for a First Lady, but not when the President is jamming healthcare mandates down our throats.

Here's more on the push for a tax on sugar... and other Nanny State news:

CUTTING YOUR CHEESE NEWS

Vegans want to shame you into avoiding cheese http://thegloss.com/beauty/vegan-doctors-try-to-fat-shame-people-out-of-eating-cheese-107/

Well, at least this is something different for the PETA peeps http://www.starzlife.com/20120120/peta-wants-o-j-simpsons-home-for-meat-is-murder-museum/

EAT WHAT WE SAY NOT AS WE DO, DEPT.

Eat your sprouts while we go to the trendy steakhouse for Michelle's birthday http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/michelle-obama-celebrates-birthday-at-blt-steak/2012/01/17/gIQAYt706P_blog.html

We still don't know what they ate.. but they love finer restaurants...

CHRIS SMACKS DOWN MSNBC

U.S. Obesity Rates "Level Off"

According to experts, that is. If Obamacare kicks in without repeal or adjustment, expect everything to be the government's business. Our whole world is related to health. Regulate and tax it! (Well, that's the response of bureaucrats)

In other news, here's when you know that you're way too addicted to Chicken Nuggets:
http://www.10news.com/news/30232662/detail.html Sick.

Meanwhile, experts show us how smart they are again with this: http://www.10news.com/news/30236153/detail.html Yup, sharks may be attracted to the so-called "Children's Pool" in La Jolla, CA to eat the seals who moved in, bumping out the kids and costing San Diego taxpayers boatloads of money. We need an expert to tell us that seals can be, well, "bait"?
