However, it's obvious a lot of people don't give a crap about themselves or their children's health. I personally have a cousin who at 8 years old topped the scales at close to 200lbs! Me, I'm worried when my 8 year old hits 80lbs. Something HAS to be done and if the parents won't do anything, maybe it's time to make regulations and laws.Sandra (Sam)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17507356006189376034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382039007985764871.post-73565987742930024452011-04-27T12:24:53.851-04:002011-04-27T12:24:53.851-04:00I agree I don't think it's the government&...I agree I don't think it's the government's place to control what we eat, especially in the form of higher taxes.<br /><br />I'm perfectly fine with no pop machines in school - was surprised when they were put in in the first place.

I think we as parents have to use our heads and realize what we are diong is killing our children. Get a back bone and say no! Provide good healthy snacks, and exercise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291564865562951350noreply@blogger.com
