Clintons War on Junk Food

[James B]

Could it be that Willie finally has a good idea for the youth of this Nation? I gotta say that this is a good plan. Its gotta start somewhere.

[Knightia]

Whats the/ his war plan?

That fat ass billy was a over indulgent youth & adult to busy chasing skirts& looking for the glory of poltices to exersize& eat right & has a heart attack & nowsees the light- he should now become the anti junk food czar of the Usis the plan?

Did he invent healthfull eating & commen sense? Whats the/his plan?

[James B]

He is trying to change the kinds of foods in vending machines and school lunch plans. Get rid of the Trans-Fats and sugar/salt foods.

[Knightia]

Sounds good- we need big billy for that eh?

[Knightia]

What next inbillys war?-after the children in the schools-(all schools, fed& otherwise?)does he make the choices what will be in the michines then? dosnt he want those things out of general societys reach also ?

But yes good news story- By use of his celeberty- to do good things& deeds(commen sense things- that look good with billy doing it?)Still the public servent?- free pr& clintoon commerals - the kind the media love to report- for one of bills nobel fights& causes- yes for the children- of course.Will his Misses be helping?

( i am i guess a pessamistic , optamist. )

I think he should run for prez of the Un maybe?- take kofee,s job.

Wonder if he has a lot oatmeal now& has a defib ulator( not for less lieing- to restart his heart of course) nearby& handy - before any sex with any of the young employes nearby?

He could just have the local police take any hookers they pick up over to his house/office?To help them- of course- & still be doing his public services

[Phil from Maine]

I think it is a good thing to help keep our children healthy and in the long run this could help to bring health care cost down.

any sex with any of the young employes nearby?

At least his was legal age and womenunlike Foley.

[Knightia]

Yep to some he was a big manly stud to be admired- i undertsand Phil

[James B]

The only one Fo;ey had sex with was 21 years old and was a FORMER page. Not a current employee. Foley is a sick dog but Clinton was no better in that respect. Wrong is Wrong.

James- good topic, but I think it is up to the parents to decide what their kids eat. Bigger government ( much less Captain Stabbin') shouldn't do it for them.

[BenGarrett]

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, I want to agree with Cameron that it's the decision of parents to tell kids what they can or cannot eat. On the other hand, sometimes government intervention is necessary. We don't allow kids to smoke cigarettes "” regardless of whether their parents approve "” if they're under 18, and for good reason. I think medical research is now revealing to us that gluttony is just about as damaging to our bodies as using tobacco products.

Still, I often tend to think that what we do with ourselves and our bodies is our business, as long as it doesn't affect anyone else. But there's no denying that we're an overweight nation . . . no, let me rephrase that: We're a nation full of lardasses. If someone wants to eat themselves to death by age 40, I don't necessarily have a problem with that, but the problem is much more far-reaching than that. The numbers of people who are obese in our nation are staggering. It's almost certain that all of these kids are going to end up with severe health problems. The toll this is eventually going to take on our healthcare system is going to prove astronomical and, I fear, will cause irrepairable harm. Much as I hate to side with the side of government intervention, I think we MUST do SOMETHING. I don't know if Clinton's plan is necessarily the right plan (a lot of things schools are starting to do in this respect are a little overboard, IMHO), but I'm not ready to denounce the idea simply because it is Clinton's.
