Just a little reminder, if you will, that you child is on the hefty side and please try to watch his weight.
I give it a couple years and then the Child Protective Agencies will remove overweight children from their parents arms on the grounds of abuse.
The powers that be started this with good intentions. Oh my god, there are so many overweight children these days. Perhaps the poor parents can't afford a scale. Well, we will help them out and weigh their children at school!!! Let's all give ourselves a soft, caring, kindness pat on our backs for doing this. Wow, we all feel so much better about ourselves for being so empathetic.
Two years later - dang, these kids still don't look like the kids on Nickolodean - some of them are still overweight. Those parents don't care, they are neglecting them. Call CPS!!!!
Ever see a do-gooder program that was ever reversed, eliminated? No it gets more and more complicated, more governmental employees are hired and guess what - our taxes go up.
Same people who declare to the heavens that women have a right to their own body and to murder their unborn children find that it's different with everything else.
I'm getting on a rant and my blood pressure is rising now. I understand your point at disputing good intentions. I think alot of it is too dang many people with too much time on their hands and new computers.
That is one of the grant programs. Do that parents of those children know that data is being collected and given to this NGO database?
All tyranny is started with "good intentions".
And later on...
If your child (even at 15) is heavier than Calista Flockheart, you will be found guilty of child abuse.
If your child's teacher finds a Twinkie in their lunch bag/box, they will call CPS and the Sheriff's Department will come arrest you.
If your child even sets foot inside a McDonald's, CPS will take your kids away and you will go to jail.
It just goes to show that as each day passes, we slip more and more towards total tyranny.
