Catching Obesity?

^^^ That above scenario is so true it scary. I see it everyday.   

And here's another one that's scary because the friggin government won't allow us to discipline our kids properly anymore. 

1968 vs 2008

Scenario:  Billy breaks a neighbor's window, and his dad grabs him by the ear and marches him over to the neighbor's house to apologize.

1968:  Billy apologizes to the neighbor and agrees to mow the neighbor's lawn for a month to help pay for the broken window.  He is more careful next time, goes on to college, and becomes a successful businessman.

2008:  Billy's dad is arrested for child abuse.  Billy is taken  into foster
care and joins a gang.  The State psychologist tells Billy's sister that she
remembers being abused herself and their Dad goes to prison. Billy's mom
has an affair with the State psychologist.

This is old news.  Somebody did a similar study in the 1990's that claimed obesity was a virus.  It's yet another asshole looking for government funding he can steal so he can pump yet another useless and harmful prescription drug down someone else's throat under the guise of it being for their own good.  Then maybe in the era of Socialized Medicine it will be permanently funded by the government and they can retire easily.

Don't believe me?  Think about all the wonderful new heart medications that have side effects including a heart attack and stroke.  Think about the new plastic birth control device for women that sews their vaginas shut or NuvaRing, which is like the pill but they insert it.  Both of these include side effects like "cervical cancer."  Look at all the kids who have "ADD/ADHD" they pump full of drugs like ritalin and zoloft, then promptly kills himself and a bunch of his classmates for no reason. 

Personally, I'd rather eat what I want, give the government the finger and if I have a heart attack, oh well.
