[Eric Blair 2084]

When they came for the drinkers during Prohibition, I did not speak out, as I was not a drinker.

When they came for the employees of the oldest profession in the world, I did not speak out, as I had no interest in purchasing sex.

When they came for the purveyors of what was deemed to be "obscene" or "offensive", I did not speak out, as I was not a fan of entertainers like Lenny Bruce or Howard Stern.

When they came to ban the female mammary gland from TV, I did not speak out, because Brian Boitano told me not to.

When they came for the marijuana smokers, I did not speak out, as I was not a marijuana smoker.

When they came for the steroid users, I did not speak out, as I was not a steroid user.

When they came for the _______ (insert nominally objectionable behavior here), I did not speak out as I was not a _________ (fill in the blank).

When they came for the pornographers, I did not speak out, as I was not a pornographer.

When they came for the people who don't wear seatbelts, I did not speak out, as I always wore my seatbelt.

When they came for the gun owners, I did not speak out, as I was not a gun owner.

When they came for the gamblers, I did not speak out, as I was not a gambler.

When they came for the cigarette smokers, I did not speak out, as I was not a smoker.

When they came for the overweight and the obese, I did not speak out, as I was not overweight or obese.

When they came for the drinkers (again), I did not speak out, as I was not a drinker.

Then they came for me...and there was nobody left to speak out.

Creators of the "Small Steps" campaign, funded by the government at more than $1.5 million a year..."

Here's a thought - take "Smaller Bites" or eat "Smaller Portions". Now, will they give me some of that money?

YOU ARE A FOOD CRIMINAL! Winston! How many donuts do you see?

Dirty little secret. Europe has 50% obesity.

[weegee]

Obesity numbers rose because the numbers for what is “healthy” changed.

[TigersEye]

Drunks swimming in gin, smokers in body bags and dopers living with their parents deep into adulthood. Those are among the public service ads shown in the United States in the past.

I think it's all designed to stimulate class division, envy and rancor amongst the populace. The masses are easier to control that way.

No one is advocating public service announcements that ridicule fat people; experts say such spots would do more harm than good.

More harm to the authoritarians seeking to set us against each other so they can more freely institute control. Insulting people for eating too much would just bring the heat back on themselves. Gotta be careful who you demonize and how.

soon, the people police will come take regular stool samples from your toilet to make sure you aren’t eating something you aren’t supposed to.

You will be ORDERED, under penalty of breaking the law, to regularly attend a Hillary care rectal examination center to ensure your poop shute is clear (exam preformed by a special gay doc and his hamster)

"This obesity problem is getting out of hand and it's my opinion that
it's high time we in the Congress do something about it!"

[Psycho_Bunny]

All these little advocacy groups, funded with tax dollars are leaches and can go to hell.
