Hannity and the Utterly Despicable Malkin. If Michelle Obama invented a cure for the common cold, they would be opposed to it and bash her for drying up the market for Mentholatum. They have rendered themselves silly and trite.

Hey Timzank, you dropped your tin foil hat in the other thread. Oh, you’ve got extras? I guess you bring an extra everywhere you go then.

Thanks snips, I never leave home without it.

Once again, whether you hate Malkin or Hannity is immaterial, you have a government that is micro managing your lives and is in fact is controlling what and where you eat. Seems you guys like that, I don’t.

Do you have any empirical evidence to support your tinfoil hat conspiracies? Or are you purely going off on an Alex Jones rant?

A third-grader at Brazos Elementary was given a week’s detention for possessing a Jolly Rancher.

“School officials in Brazos County are defending the seemingly harsh sentence. The school’s principal and superintendent said they were simply complying with a state law that limits junk food in schools.”

“Mayor Bloomberg, the mayor who declared war on tobacco, sugary drinks and trans fats, has identified a new public enemy — now he wants to protect New Yorkers from salt.

Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley launches a campaign today to cut New Yorkers’ sodium intake by one-fifth over five years.

“If we achieve our goal, we would talk about saving tens of thousands of lives,” Farley said, predicting that deaths from strokes and heart attacks will dramatically fall.

The City Health Department is spearheading the National Salt Reduction Initiative, which will cajole food manufacturers to voluntarily cut sodium content 20 to 25 percent by 2014.
Food-nanny Mayor Bloomberg and the City Health Department plan to reduce New Yorkers’ sodium intake with the National Salt Reduction Initiative.

Do you have any empirical evidence to support your tinfoil hat conspiracies? Or are you purely going off on an Alex Jones rant?”

County supervisors in California have proposed that toys included in fast-food restaurant meals for kids be banned, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

Officials in Silicon Valley are convinced that luring kids into eating foods with high sugar, sodium and fat by using toys will make them overweight and cause long term health problems.

This proposal is believed to the first of this type, and would ban the inclusion of a toy in any kids meal with more than 485 calories, 600 mg of salt, or high amounts of sugar or fat. These guidelines would cause all McDonald’s happy meals — even those with apple sticks instead of French fries — to be served without a toy.

So essentially, all of those things are Obama’s fault, and it’s a prime example of government fascism. Obviously, you three strive to fail, not just fail in the literal sense, but beyond that. You’ve gone beyond stupid. You’ve gone full retard, nobody goes full retard.

Tyler Durden especially, because that example is essentially campaign launches, which are only social initiatives. Which is obviously a phrase you’ve never heard of.

But how dare they stop kids from being fat! How dare they! It’s fascism that government uses these initiatives to stop kids from being unable to get off the couch. How dare they!!!

The libs are doing what they always do. We are against ILLEGAL immigration, so we are racists that hate those from other countries. We abhore abortion, so we are against woman’s rights. We don’t want the gov’t in EVERY aspect of out lives, stripping us of our god-given right to free agency, so we want kids to be fat and die. That’s schtick is getting tired. How about debating us on those issues instead of trying to make it about something other than it is. Oh I know, because if you actually debate the issues, you LOSE!

So checking for illegal immigrants is a government intrusion, but telling us what to eat isn’t.

I commend Mrs. Obama for her good work. It’s certainly as important and as relevant as Mrs. Bush focus on literacy.

“Is Feeding Your Kids Junk Food Child Abuse?”

Here’s the kicker.

It’s not out of the realm of imagination that at some day the food pyramid won’t just be good advice, it will be a govt mandate based upon egis of public money.

“So checking for illegal immigrants is a government intrusion, but telling us what to eat isn’t?”

One goes into law and directly gets in the way of life liberty and all that. Launching campaigns against stuff that will kill you faster, is hardly a bad thing. Would you be pissed off if they targeted cigarettes? Probably, if it was done during the Obama administration.

In the end, isn’t the need for such action the product of poor parenting, and aren’t most of our nation’s problems the result of poor parenting? If all parents were as attentive and involved in their children’s lives as I believe Michelle to be, none of this would be necessary, would it?

Love the strawman argument, writer. I addressed cops checking people on vague stereotypes that was put into law, not illegal immigration. Nice try, but in the end, misrepresentation of opinions is still easy to call out.

those of you who say the government should not be allowed control…sorry, but I want them to quit using my tax dollars to provide health care to people who are not at least encouraged and rewared to eat right and exercise. Education in those areas and making unhealthy crap that is marketed to kids more expensive than healthy food is not taking control…it is good for all. People don’t take personal responsibility for their unhealthy behavior. Screaming about taking away their freedom to eat crap and be lazy is just plain idiotic when we all end up paying all of the bills related to that behavior later.

Nice try, snip. But the law says there has to be a reason to stop people. Obama’s ‘being stopped on the way to get ice cream’ is a lie.

Michelle Obama is taking on a great cause, and I applaud her Get Fit efforts.

That said, the responsibility lies with the PARENTS, not with the government. Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. First they ban salt and Happy Meal toys, then what? Donut shops and pizza parlors? Then Starbuck’s drinks and Cheetos? Then ALL convenience foods?

They punish the whole for the *crimes* of a few?

Why should my niece be punished, who is healthy and thin, and gets a Happy Meal Toy maybe three times a year, be punished because your kid is overweight because you are a crap parent?

Why should my meal be bland and boring without salt, when we treat ourselves to a night out once in a blue moon, because you are a fat a** who doesn’t eat healthy?

So, basically, you are subscribing to the *Cops acting stupidly* meme, before the law has even started?

Don’t police operate under suspicions most of the time? They see a car swerving down the road – they have reasonable suspicion the driver is drunk. They see a guy lurking in a doorway, watching people come in and out, at 2am, they might have reasonable suspicion the guy is up to no good. They see a guy following a woman walking down the street at 3am, acting all shifty, looking over his shoulder, they might have reasonable suspicion he is going to attack her. They see a couple of hoodlums with sweatshirt hoods on, hands in their pockets, enter a 7/11 at 3am, they might have reasonable suspicion they plan to rob the place. They pull over a guy for a broken tail light, and he can’t produce any valid ID, which is against the law, they might have enough reasonable suspicion to check his legal status.

“an investigation was provoked because he had “tattered clothing” or “awkward walking patterns” or whatever.” It sounds like you’re the one using the strawman argument.

We would never hear the left referring to Rush Limbaugh as fat. They are above it.

Well, Gabbie and anyone else who approves of these measures, that are much more than just “campaigns” and take the form of regulations laws, where do you draw the line which separates allowable/desirable control of personal behavior and/or parental control?

Here’s one for you. Studies have shown that a large percentage of children and teens are sleep deprived. This is especially prevalent in two income and single parent households. I think this is a significant problem b/c as all parents know sleepy children are at a disadvantage in almost everything and especially in academic pursuits. What solutions via law and regulations would you be OK with? Random bedtime checks in the home? Questioning the children at school?

BTW, good to see you again, Sara.

Dangerous ground, Grammie, talking about two parent households. Remember what happened to Dan Quayle when he said kids are better off being raised by two parents

Remember what happened to Dan Quayle when he said kids are better off being raised by two parents

You bring up a very good point. How many obese children come from single parent or broken homes? And from low income homes?

Call me crazy, but I am going to take a guess that not many obese children come from stay at home mom/dad at work households.

Obesity is more common in African American, Hispanic American, and Native American children and adolescents, than among Caucasians of the same ages. – What would they think if they just banned these groups, and not white children? Would that be ok?

All those who are supporting a nanny state – how many would support a move by the government to implement a ban on divorce when children are involved? Or a ban allowing mothers to work? If they determine that single moms raise the most obese children, will they support a ban on single mothers?

I had to check – I was correct:

“Studies have demonstrated that children in single-parent families are more likely to be overweight or obese than children in two-parent families and that the rise in women working outside the home coincides with the rise in childhood weight problems
http://aspe.hhs.gov/health/reports/child_obesity/

So…. I guess they won’t mind laws that forbid single parent homes and working mothers?
