Bureaucrats from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will weigh and measure children in daycare as part of a study mandated by First Lady Michelle Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.
The agency published a notice in the Federal Register on Friday proposing data collection on what meals are served in professional and home daycare facilities and how much physical activity children perform.
Aside from assessing how healthy the food in daycare is, the USDA will also check the weight and height of roughly 3,000 children.
“Children will be asked to cooperate with study staff who will weigh and measure them for the Standing Height and Weight Form,” the notice said.
The study is required by section 223 of Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was championed by Mrs. Obama and passed in 2010. The main aspect of the law implemented new standards for school lunches.
A lesser-known requirement of the law is the “Study on Nutrition and Wellness Quality in Childcare Settings (SNAQCS),” which the USDA announced Friday. The public will have 60 days to comment.

Total 100% government control of everything is the ultimate goal.
So there ya have it.
This is how they get their foot in the door...first your children....then you. I know Michael Moore and Lena Dunham will not be happy about this one bit...
Do they give kids purple stamps telling everyone how they did? Imagine a parent’s pride when junior comes home with “PRIME” roll-stamped across his forehead.
The EPA should hook Flow-Meters to their little innies and outies to see if they are urinating excessiviely and impacting the rise of the oceans.
Ever notice how many public servants working for the feds these days act like child molesting perverts? They are always coming up with some kind of new bull**** to pull on the kids. Weird. It’s sex,sex,sex, 24/7/365. What a bunch of freaks.

CUT, CUT, CUT.
The Nazis were big into eugenics and carefully documenting body measurements.
I don’t particularly like making the comparison, but that’s what I was reminded of. Maybe it’s because I read Elie Wiesel’s “Night” a few weeks ago.
There’s a few thousand more government jobs for people with worthless degrees.
Next the fed gubmint will confiscate the babies in the maternity wards so they can raise them PROPERLY. God help us (except by then it will be Allah and that is not too far off).
When 0bama leaves office, and if a conservative wins, all federal bureaucrats should be fired.

The key is to take NOTHING in the way of assistance from the government.

The most angry, mean, priviliged, spoiled image of feminine pulchritude I’ve EVER been cursed to look at, even in my nightmares. I do not consider Hillary to be feminine.
I can think of several pre-school girls who were BIG girls and would have been alarming to the “experts”. They all grew out of it and became normal weight, and very strong and athletic by middle school. without federal help.
Could have certainly been problematic for Michelle Robinson in her early years.
