There was no forced feeding you mindless wimp....The only thing worse than tyrants is liars, so there you are...I like the calorie counts posted to watch my intake, before they were available I had a book which gave the calories per item...It helps when one plans on what to eat a t a time of day and the calories and fats can be taken into the decision..Others that don't giveNEW YORK (AP) - America's weight problem isn't getting any better, according to new government research.
Overall, obesity figures stayed about the same: About 40 percent of adults are obese and 18.5 percent of children. Those numbers are a slight increase from the last report but the difference is so small that it could have occurred by chance.
Worrisome to experts is the rate for children and teenagers, which had hovered around 17 percent for a decade. The 2-to-5 age group had the biggest rise.
The bad news is that the numbers didn't go down, experts say. In recent years, state and national health officials have focused on obesity in kids, who were the target of the national Let's Move campaign launched by former first lady Michelle Obama in 2010.
US obesity problem is not budging, new data shows
The last sentence is very telling: kids are still fat in spite of Moochelle trying to force them to eat foods they didn't want or like.
I'm sure leftists are totally shocked at this; Democrats can't control people like most people do their pets. Besides that idiotic campaign, her husband also forced restaurants to post calorie count on all menus from coast to coast. He assumed that unless Big Brother told us a Big Mac combo was not the best choice for dinner, we wouldn't be able to figure it out ourselves.
The federal government is not our parents and we are not the federal governments children. I wonder how many millions of private and taxpayer dollars were wasted on these programs that turned up absolutely nothing?
Message to control freak leftists: Leave us alone! Let us live our own lives and make our own decisions! Really.........you don't own us.....

Sorry you can't figure out that a Whopper combo isn't low calorie or that a salad with no dressing is pretty reasonable, but the rest of us don't need the federal government making laws to help people like you who can't figure this all out.
Correct, there was no force feeding---only an attempt. Kids would buy candy and cupcakes and bring that to school instead of spending money on a lunch that even a homeless man wouldn't eat.
