    LOL at the OP idea. This would not go over in the red states, typically the fattest of them all.

    Ok maybe that's a bit extreme. How about banning fast food. Thatd be a good first step.

    still extreme imo...us regular sized people enjoy fast food from time to time...I was thinking more along the lines of compulsory after school sport programs for overweight children + healthier foods served in school cafeterias...tackling the problem at its roots - childhood.

    Oo, I like it. Compulsory sit-ups and cardio. That's much better. Prolly more effective too. We would have to be careful though, because exercise makes you breath heavier and that means more co2. Al gore might not like it.


    Ok, done joking now. IMO our body fat is none of the government's business.

    You can't be serious. The left is much fatter than the right, and they expect the taxpayers to pay for their food.

    the government should give all fat people liposuction surgery. it would be a major stimulus to the economy. think of all the jobs that would create. plus the government would save tons on healthcare costs cause there would be no more fat people.

    asinine lib idea FTW
