Michelle Claims Fat Kids Are A National Security Threat

[LibocalypseNow]

In fact i would even go as far as saying that her claim "Fat Kids are a National Security Threat" is the stupidest "Crisis" Fear Mongering attempt i've ever seen. Kind of shameful.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Next phase for the Socialists/Progressives will be to charge Citizens with "Child Abuse" crimes for their child being deemed "Obese" by the State. Some people laugh at this notion but this is actually happening in Western Europe. Their Socialists have made it a crime for children to be overweight. Their Governments now have the authority to storm Citizens' homes and confiscate their children for being "Obese." The parents are then charged with "Child Abuse." Never underestimate the Socialists. They're capable of anything.

hey Libo....if there is a ten year old who weighs 3x what he should weigh,has nothing physically wrong with him to warrent the weight,but just has an eating problem and his "Parents" have not seeked help for him or did their jobs and cut the food supply.....should these people be charged with Child Abuse?....

"Fat kids are a national security threat", sounds like the Obama kids need to be arrested.

The truth is that Kids are FAT. Look at their parents they are fat also. A lunch program is not the solution and neither are any Big Govenment mandated programs.
Michelle is so on target with the kids. It's the all part of the Revolution to indoctrinate our children into the New Way of Things to come. We can't have a strong obama private military with all of these little fatties.
It's about control.......We are slowly being told what to do, how to eat, gps my car, remove my salt, touch my boobs, built a mosque, give me healthcare..................

You would think that the Best community organizer Ever would be thinking more along the line of Community Involvement for helping people/kids learn to live a more healthy lifestyle. If kids are going to get free lunch and dinner it should require that the parents be involved such as taking classes and volunteering. Community sports programs would be a good start. Kids need to put down the remote and get outside. Get them involved in sports. Involvement in sports teaches teamwork. Teamwork is key to being successful in the real world. Everything should start at the community level not MO telling us what to do.

Michelle really needs to take a good look at her own big fat ass.

DD~

this is where MANY the so called "Adults" of the Country have failed.....whether you want to admit it or not....we have a lot of fairly dense people in the population, and there is nothing wrong with someone of note OR the Govt putting messages out there to hopefully wake people up.....we are not talking about violence on TV or Video games .....you can turn off the TV and the Video games....sorry but a disease like Diabetes....is with you to stay....

I agree, I not only see nothing wrong with Michelle using her position to push this, I commend her for it.

Michelle is losing her mind.

Now she's saying that because only 1 in 4 kids in the US can qualify for the military this has become a threat to National Security.

“Military leaders … tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight,” the first lady says in the prepared remarks, “childhood obesity isn’t just a public health threat, it’s not just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well."

Now I've heard everything.

Call it one of those unintended consequences of the Nanny State.

Kids aren't allowed to run around and play like they did when I was growing up so now we've got kids that are getting by on Monster drinks just to keep from being bored to death.

After sitting around the house for hours on end in the summer kids get fat. Many parents won't allow them out on their own. School buses have to drop kids off mere feet from their doorstep. It's all just a side-effect of the Nanny State this country has immersed itself in.

I've felt for quite some time that all of this coddling that goes on is only going to make kids unable to cope with life but military life is out of the question folks. Our pampered kids won't be able to handle the culture-shock they will experience. It doesn't matter if they're out of shape or not.

Look at the picture you used. Look at most of those women. I cannot believe they stood there and remained silent. Or have they been obamaized?

They were each promised Happy Meals if they behaved through the whole thing

Doesn't matter it's not the governments place to dictate what we eat or drink

Whoa! You're on a roll. Had to laugh at that one.

That must be the reason

 

[BluesMistress]

Did I say obese??
I think she is a selfish, mean spirited, angry woman with a big fat ass that thinks that she's better than everyone else especially by trying to tell us what to eat and where we can eat it.

thats the way you are looking at it.....maybe Michelle read this.....


Data from the 2007 National Diabetes Fact Sheet (the most recent year for which data is available)

Total: 23.6 million children and adults in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes.

Diagnosed: 17.9 million people

And............Your quote is out of context

Undiagnosed: 5.7 million people

Pre-diabetes: 57 million people

New Cases: 1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older each year.

in 20 years time all these figures may double.....that will mean 100 million people with Pre-Diabetes....ten million walking around with it,and they dont even know it....just ignoring the shit happening to them.....

And..................Your quote of me is out of context so I have no response for you.

No.

disagree, as a parent it is my job to make sure that health>want. If i fail that, then I've abused my kids

 

[Harry Dresden]

Yea that has to be it. The Government should be worried about real issues. Obsessing over the weight of individual Citizens is just so stupid and a waste of time. This really isn't a Government issue. Everyone wants their children to be healthy. We don't need more Laws or the First Lady preaching to us about such things. Adults can handle this. The Government should just shut the hell up and get to work on real issues.

if the "Adults" can handle this, WHY are there more obese kids under the age of 10 then there has ever been?.....and why is Diabetes way up among that same age group?.....why has Diabetes for ALL age groups gone up?....the Adults are handling it real well aren't they?....most of those "Adults" are either obese themselves OR just plain overweight and i would not doubt that a good percentage of them are PRE-Diabetic and they dont even know it....its just a matter of time for them and unfortunately their kids also....

Still not a Government issue. The Government has much bigger things to worry about. No pun intended.

it isnt?....they cant try and get people to realise whats happening health wise?.....they cant put out public service messages telling people this?.....it wont be much of a Govt if 30-50% of the people are suffering from the health issues that Obesity and Diabetes brings on will it?.....and since its happening at an earlier age,all the problems associated with these too problems,will set in, in midlife instead of old age.....thats great aint it?.....the Govt should ignore a National Health problem because its not in the Constitution.....does not the Constitution say....."promote the general Welfare"?......what does that mean?..... is not the HEALTH of the Citizens of this Country something that affects the General Welfare of the Country?....the US Govt. has every right to be concerned about the health of its Citizens.....without those Citizens the Govt aint worth shit.....i cant believe the amount of people here who think this is something to just let happen....who gives a shit.....as Spock would say.....FASCINATING......

Harry, they're just being stupid idiotic partisan hacks. Whether the government should be involved or not, the First Lady has ALWAYS had a cause that she trumpeted from her position; this just happens to be Michelle's. They know this, they just don't care.

 

[Harry Dresden]

This fatass bitch Obama has no business telling Americans about eating healthy when her and her brats are fat bitches through and through. This woman does a great stand in for Magilla Gorilla and she wants to talk about Obesity? Have another Pizza Big Mo.

Ah, another Conservative Republican chimes in.

there are a lot of Liberal Democrats who feel the same way.....its all fabrication....

So obesity isn't a parenting failure? This country is 230 plus years old, up until this generation of lazy fucks with their x-boxes, wie players and parents who don't give a shit enough to pay attention to their kids, the government hasn't had to get involved. If you want gov't involvement, fine the parents for the fat little imps they abuse. Case closed, screw your "general welfare" clause, its not appropriate.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Messages are fine. Just don't start offering up stupid Legislation mandating anything. The Adults really can handle this one. The Government can go ahead and sit this one out. The Government doesn't need to raise our children. I would prefer they take on other more important issues.

like i said.....so far they are doing a bang up job.....

Bottom line, don't have a fat pig trumpeting obesity. It's like having a serial killer giving seminars on decreasing the murder rate.
