When I was ten years old I was a little fat, not too much, but I weighed 110 pounds. I was pretty tall aswell. And I still am pretty tall.

This really isn't the government's place to be forcibly taking away kids because they have some kind of excessive disorder. First it's excessive eating, next, what will it be? Excessive gaming? Both are bad for your health, but it's up to the individual to fix it.

Now, what the government can do is regulate just how fucking awful food can be for you. If you want to eat until you're 300 pounds, that fine, but you shouldn't be able to get that fat by eating healthy food. If the government stepped up and made McDonald's use 20% less fattening ingredients, that would be a start.

But then the issue comes up that should the government be regulating what we stuff our faces with anyway? Private businesses should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want as long as the FDA approves that it isn't poison. But then it's just up to the individual to know what and what not to eat.

So, what do we really do? Well, the government can educate children by offering a real nutrition class before they get all the way to high school. Wellness is great and all, but parents have been literally spoon-feeding them bad habits for 15 years before they took that class. So, introduce nutrition classes as one of the main classes that is to be taken seriously. Replace the second English class (reading) for example.

Excessive gaming? It's arguable whether or not that's bad for you. I play more video games then I probably should but I'm physically healthy.

Obesity is completely preventable, and allowing your child to become so overweight that he or she develops a life threatening illness is child neglect no matter how you look at it.

Theres this really interesting movie on netflix about the subject search for it it's called fat head

This is why I am glad I am skinny. 6'1" and 140 is hot!

I hate how fat people think they are all that. Just because your fat can make you stronger does not mean you have to pick on the skinny kids.

Yes, they are stopping us from realizing the dream of a beautiful fit healthy world.

I wish OP had provided a link or something so we discuss the conditions of this possible new law and where it's happening.

Oh gee, look at this chart.

You know, if you want to discuss whether people should have freedoms to do whatever they want, so long as it isn't dangerous/harmful to some extent, then why not also discuss the freedoms that are lost by being obese.

Think about it, you're limiting the freedom of an individual to help that person gain more freedom later on. What can an obese person do compared to a fit person? I'm not talking about the obese people that eat healthy food and still exercise, I'm talking about McDonalds fat people who don't exercise. They would most likely have shorter life spans and limited movement, both of which can severely limit the person's freedom to do things.

So either it is a little freedom taken away or a lot of freedom lost.

Yea it's disgusting. I work in the bakeshop for jewel-osco (big retail grocery chain if you don't have one out by you) I work from 4am-8am most days. By like 8am, sometimes 9 if they need me later, the amount of obsese people taking like 5 cookies at once is gross. We normally pull 4 or 5 bags of out of code cookies, (there not un-edible just more than 5 days old) And we'll go though a few bags in a very short period of time.

I understand some people have problems controlling their weight, there are medical reasons for that. But alot of fatties in America are just fat, becuase they are lazy, and eat like shit. I don't eat much better and I don't do much, but my body processes lots of food quickly. I'll need to change my diet in a few years or I'll start packing on the pounds

Yeah let's all be cool and make fun of fat people!

Seriously, their life style is none of your business.

What? The government will intervene again?!

BURN ZEE FATASSES!!! >:D lol jk I really don't care about their life, but it is a disgusting thing in the summer. especially where I live (Southern oklahoma D:) people where either a tight ass shirt or no shirt. and they sweat like motherfuckers. and they insist on swimming in pools...... EEEEWWWW!!!!!!!

Lmao Pulling chips out day fat jelly rolls.

I had some neighbours who's children were obese, and they were only about 5 - 6 years of age. It's awful to see children that young become morbidly obese and it's not really much of a surprise as to why it happens.

I generally blame the parents because they're too fucking lazy to do anything about it, or they don't bother cooking proper meals, which also isn't much of a surprise either, if it requires too much work or can't be thrown in a microwave then it isn't worth making for their children.
