This is the UK..............but don't think the Nanny Statists aren't working on it here in the US........and in fact they've started it in several places.

Animal Tagging and SCHOOL LUNCHES???
Thanks for the ping!
Don't you wonder how our parents and grandparents raised kids without all this "help".
Evwry time I read about more of this nanny state stuff I fume.
Maybe within a generation the state will have all those schools and camps with regulated diets and exercise as they had in Nazi Germany. The kids can all wear little uniforms and the parents will have nothing to do with it.
It is absolutely frightening.
You know what bothers me about this obesity frenzy,Gabz.
Overweight kids,who are often teased now,will be bullied even more.
I saw it when I taght school,I saw in the schools my kids attended, and it's really hard on those heavy kids.
I am slim for one simple reason---I had good genes.I eat like a longshoreman and never gain weight. Some of these kids are obese through no fault of their own. Their genes are calling the shots.
