Removing sweets from schools will not begin to solve the obesity problem in this country. Instead of attempting to correct a situation without government intervention through positive reinforcement, another reduction in our freedom of choice is being shoved down our throats. Has consideration been given to the economical repercussions this will present?

Apparently it gave them some ideas.

Kurt, I got it just fine but there are always the tags: sarc, /sarc, if you want to make it abundantly clear. I don’t think it’s much of a problem in this forum though. 🙂

This is now the season where all those female youngsters are pushing their fat pills. They may appear wholesome but those ‘Girl Scouts’ are really scouts for the entire junk food industry. I say we all boycott their evil wares.

Then they can go back to allowing the children to burn some calories at recess.
