Well said, strong first and excersize can be taught. As well as good grocery shopping. I'm tired of hearing the cheap food is making the kids fat. Is it easier to stay fit with more healthy resources? Of course it is, but just because bagel bites are 1.25 a box doesn't meant all 12 have to be consumed in one sitting or dipped in a sauce for that matter. Taking a child away from Their biological parents is extreme, it just would perpetuate the attitude of if I mess this up at least I'll be bailed out.

I agree you completely, Greg. This is ridiculous. Not to mention, there are some instances where children have biological issues that make them fat, regardless of what they eat. Are you going to traumatize these children that much more by ripping themaway from their parents? I mourn the loss of common sense in this country.

HILLMAN: FIRST OF ALL, YOU ARE RIGHT THAT YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR, THAT IS OBVIOUS. WHAT IS ALSO OBVIOUS SI THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A SHRED OF COMMON SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO AN ISSUES SUCH AS THIS. IN THE THREAD REGARDING THE PLASTIC SURGERY PERFORMED ON THE 8 YEAR OLD GIRL FROM CALIFORNIA, YOUR BANKRUPT ARGUMENT WAS THAT HEAVEN AND EARTH MUST BE MOVED TO SAVE THIS LITTLE GIRL, AND GET HER AWAY FROM HER IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS. THAT COMPLETELY HYPOCRITICAL, BANKRUPT ARGUMENT IGNORED THE FACT THAT CALIFORNIA'S VERSION OF DSS WOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMOVAL OF SAID LITTLE GIRL, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TAXPAYERS. AT THAT TIME, WHEN YOU MADE THOSE IDIOTIC STATEMENTS, I STATED, TO THE CHAGRIN OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF YOUR PORTABLE CHORUS, THAT THE FACT THAT THE LITTLE GIRL IN QUESTION WAS FROM CALIFORNIA, AND THUS NOT AFFECTING "YOUR" TAX MONEY IN ANY WAY, GAVE YOU ENOUGH COVER TO BE "OUTRAGED". FURTHER, I STATED THAT IF SUCH A CASE WERE TO PLAY OUT IN MASSACHUSETTS, YOU WOULD SCREAM BLOODY MURDER ABOUT "YOUR" TAX MONEY, GOING TO REMOVE CHILDREN FROM THE CARE OF NEGLIGENT PARENTS, AND YOU WOULD DIG INTO THE REPUBLICAN PRAYER BOOK AND PULL OUT A SERMON ABOUT "PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY". SURE ENOUGH, NOW THAT A PROPOSAL, REPEAT...PROPOSAL!!, HAS BEEN PUT FORWARD TO REMOVE SEVERELY OBESE CHILDREN FROM THEIR HOMES, YOU ARE "OUTRAGED" ABOUT SAID CHILDREN BEING PUT INTO STATE CARE "AT THE TAXPAYER'S EXPENSE". SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: YOU ARE COMPARING PARTICIPATION IN FOOTBALL, BIKE RIDING, ETC. TO OBESITY, AN AFFLICTION THAT CAN LEAD TO SUCH DISEASES AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, AMONG OTHERS? I WILL NOW STEP ASIDE, AND ALLOW YOUR THREE OR FOUR PATHETIC SYCOPHANTS HAVE THE FLOOR.

"...they need to be taught how to do it and, maybe, charged with neglect if they are repeatedly failing to help their child get healthy." So you are ok with charging neglect but not with removing the neglected child from the home? The example Dr. Ludwig gave in the piece was of a girl who he first saw (as a doctor at the Children's Hospital) at 3 years old. By the time she was 12 she weighed over 400 lbs. So that girl's parents had approximately 9 years to take the doctors advice and they instead chose to saddle their 12yo with diabetes and heart problems before she's even a teenager. Dr. Ludwig never suggested raiding the home of every kid who is overwieght and putting them in foster care. He simply said that in the most extreme situations the state should have the option to intervene. But I guess you think it's better to have 400lb 12 year olds with diabetes? I don't see how that's any better than starving your kid to death personally.

This was written by some hack doctor in Boston, which does not necessarily mean that it's even close to legislation. Why is it that whenever some d-bag doctor or lawyer writes something inflammatory (and in this case, not even a government d-bag), people get all up-in-arms that the man is going to take over and march us all into death camps or take away our kids or our guns? True, common sense seems to be lacking in our society, but a lot of the hype all of us are experiencing over this particular issue isn't warranted. Seriously... Chill out! Unless the kid has to be moved out of bed and onto the toilet with a forklift, he/she is unlikely to be forced into foster care. THEY ARE NOT COMING TO GET YOUR KIDS (yet)!!!! Perhaps a Big Mac and a Coke will help calm our nerves (ha ha ha ha ha).

If you are willing to buy a car, you will have to receive the business loans. Moreover, my father always utilizes a bank loan, which supposes to be the most rapid.

Matty- As usual, you have shown yourself to be a complete and pathetic moron with your useless comments.

Dear Matt, Your 5th paragraph was complete and total lack of knowledge whatsoever. You can definitely compare things like riding a bike and playing football to obesity, because if people rode a bike more and played sports on a frequent basis, then obesity is never a problem. It doesn't take a professional to understand that to you, things like bike riding are probably a legend or a myth to you and that stories of people doing such things have only happened in the Holy Bible. Get with the times Matt, it's not 12,000 B.C. anymore. However in the case that you're bringing up, if the parents truly didn't monitor anything, then yeah there should be government intervention. Although you did not for one single second think of what else that kid will have to go through. Hillman said that it's either be obese or live with foster parents. If the government takes this particular child away, she has to deal with BOTH of the problems he stated. Now Matt, if you think for one second that a child should go through more BS cause of YOUR ideals, then fine, make her suffer. You should move to Texas. I bet the Bush family will love you down there. I'll be waiting for your reply so I can show you honestly how stupid you will sound once again.

I totally agree with you Greg but I do think this is such a far fetched idea that it could never, and should never happen. There is no way any government or authority agency could justify actually taking away a child just for being obese. Who would it be left up to? DSS? How many times have they failed children in the past. They have had numerous reports of abuse and such and nothing was ever done until a child was finally beaten to death. At least with obesity it's more of a slow death as opposed to child abuse or sexual abuse where it's immediate danger. And those poor children are let down by the system repeatedly. Believe me I wish parents would step up and provide a healthy life for their kids and tell them to stop their complaining and eat their salad and veggies but unfortunately parents are way too much of wusses these days so the kids will get fatter, lazier, worse grades in school and continue bullying classmates because no one has the guts to be the bad guy.

...... Need cheap generic LEVITRA?...

BRANDON R: "GENIUS BOY": I WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN MY ARGUMENT IN A WAY THAT EVEN SOMEONE WITH YOUR EXTREMELY LIMITED INTELLIGENCE CAN UNDERSTAND. YOUR HERO, HILLMAN, BITCHED AND CRIED IN A PREVIOUS THREAD ABOUT THE 8 YEAR OLD IN CALIFORNIA, WHOSE PARENTS AUTHORIZED FOR HER TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY. OF COURSE, HE DID THIS BECAUSE THIS ALLEGED CAPITAL CRIME OCCURRED MILES AWAY, WHICH GAVE HIM PLENTY OF COVER TO BE OUTRAGED. I POINTED OUT AT THE TIME, AND IT HAS BEEN PROVEN IN THIS THREAD, THAT IF SUCH A THING TOOK PLACE HERE, YOUR FEARFUL "LEADER" WOULD SCREAM BLOODY MURDER ABOUT "HIS" TAX MONEY GOING TO CHILDREN OF IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS. HAVE YOU SEEN THE THREAD?...YOU KNOW HOW TO READ, RIGHT? SO NOW, YOUR HERO IS RUNNING HIS MOUTH, SCREAMING AND CRYING ABOUT "HAVING TO PAY" FOR A PROPOSAL, REPEAT, PROPOSAL TO HAVE OBESE CHILDREN REMOVED FROM THEIR HOMES...YOU REALIZE OBESITY IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS SITUATION THAN A CHILD UNDERGOING PLASTIC SURGERY, RIGHT? YOU ALSO REALIZE THE ADDITIONAL AILMENTS AND AFFLICTIONS THAT OBESITY CAN LEAD TO, RIGHT?...SUCH AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, STROKE,ETC? AS USUAL, PARANOID CONSERVATIVES SUCH AS HILLMAN ALWAYS TRY TO PAINT SUCH THINGS IN TERMS OF DOLLARS AND CENTS, WHILE CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THE FACT THAT IF SOMEHOW, A DENT CAN BE MADE IN SUCH THINGS AS CHILDHOOD OBESITY, IN THE LONG RUN, THIS WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD LOWERING HEALTH CARE COSTS FOR EVERYONE. BUT WHY SHOULD WE POINT OUT SUCH THINGS, WHEN HILLMAN AND HIS PORTABLE CHORUS MEMBERS SUCH AS YOURSELF ARE AROUND TO YELL AND SCREAM ABOUT WHAT, IN YOUR DELUSIONAL MINDS, YOU CLAIM TO BE THE "TRUTH". KEEP BEING SUCH A BORN FOLLOWER. YOUR DOING A HELL OF A JOB.

If you want to buy a car, you will have to receive the personal loans. Furthermore, my sister commonly uses a secured loan, which supposes to be really firm.

Houses are quite expensive and not every person is able to buy it. However, home loans are invented to support people in such hard situations.

The safety police and fun police have made kids fat.. hear me out.. kids hanging in a lot play'n hacky-sack. OMG it's an unrulely gang, call the coppers. ma, I want a bike for x mas, gets the bike, waits and waits, springs here, (whisle blows) kid to ride that bike you need to put on a helmet,elbow bads,knee pads,etc.. the kids like ok for the first few times, then is like screw this, and back to the video game he/she goes,, wanna play cowboys and indians, cops and robbers, that never fly today.. kids are fat because people have made being a kid not fun any more.. go out and play isn't fun.. cell phones don't help.. if they had to see their buddies to talk to them they might just go out to see them.. but they can text,skype,facebook, all while on thy butts.. how ever did the generations before this foolishness make it past 10 y/o?? parents and the safety police need to understand broken bones,cuts,black n blues go with being a kid.. they'll live..

where do you buy the mantown calender

I agree with stich,I also believe that todays children are sheltered under the knowledge and presents of sex offenders in their play grounds, cities and towns. Parents are over protective and very limited to how far they will let their children walk ,play ect.I dont blame parents it is scary to see posted sex offenders mug shots in school entrances and super markets.But if you are not going to let your children live free and educate them,then this too will promote lazy, obese kids.
