The Nutrition Police March On

The Obama administration will begin a drive this week to expel Pepsi, French fries and Snickers bars from the nation’s schools in hopes of reducing the number of children who get fat during their school years.
I cannot imagine that such efforts will yield results; kids have too many ways to circumvent these restrictions.

Instead, what about health insurance premiums that increase with weight above the "healthy" threshold?

Will I be able to sue the government if my son becomes "too thin" for not getting his favorite snack?

I believe many already do that; however I just don't see the connection between what this Socialist president is trying to do and private insurance company practices, unless of course you meant that you believe Obama should sign legislation mandating that.....
