It’s gonna take the whole village to get the poor victim out of
the house and into a courtroom to testify in the coming class
action lawsuit against Big Sugar but as long as the collective
is good on it I suppose I am too.

OF COURSE IT’S BOTH CRIMINAL AND NEGLECT!!

Another example of the state butting into people’s private lives.

Are we as a nation supposed to be our brother’s keepers and
watch what the hell they eat too?
I say everybody has a free will to either stuff their face or
not and it’s their own damn business what they want to do. No
one is going to come into my backyard and tell me how to grow my
grass and I’m not here to save anyone who chooses to kill
themselves whichever way.

This case will only give impetus to ZERO to say see, “this is
why we need nationl health care”! To take care of our obese
children and maybe do gastric bypasses on all of them with our
money. Did you notice that this child is black? I bet none of
this would’ve come to light if the child was white.

On the flip side of the coin, it’s a shame that the mom and the
child are so obese but thats what happens when you sit if front
of the tv 24/7 and eat potato chips and jack-in-the-box everyday.

I don’t buy the crap that this happened because she worked two
jobs because if that was the case, she herself should be thin
and undernourished from all that hard labor. It’s their slovenly
lifestyle.

I’m sorry that my views are harsh, but I have seen situations
like this many times in my life and these people “do not want to
be helped” until it gets to a critical stage. Then its passed
off to the taxpayer to do the right thing.

The right thing is also the cheapest. Supply him and his mother
with 15 whoppers a day for the rest of thier lives!

Imagine you are going out for a drive.  From your drive way you turn left.
At the first light you turn to the right, at the next you turn left again.
At the third you go through the intersection, and pull into the 7-11 for a
Big Gulp.

Someone who follows "Negative Liberty" will read the above and think it
good.  You were free to drive any direction you wanted to, free to stop in
at the 7-11 and get a Big Gulp because you wanted to.  You were free from
external forces that stoped you.

Someone who follows "Positive Liberty" will read the above and think it
bad.  You were driven by internal forces to the 7-11.  You HAD to have a
Big Gulp, so you took time from your day to get one, time that you would
have used for ther things if not for your thirst.  You were not free from
internal forces that controled you.

A person who follows Positive Liberty will then insist that since you were
driven by internal forces, you are not rational.  You are controled, and
not of your own free will.  They, however, are not subject to such forces.
As such, for the "greater good", laws must be passed to limit your
behavior, behavior that you would have not wanted to do anyhow if not for
the internal forces controlling you.  If you were "better", you would
thank them, so your opposition to them is a sign of just how damaged you
really are.

As for this 555 pound 14 year old, ask yourself first if you follow
positive or negative liberty.  If you are a positive liberty "for the
greater good" Obama following national health care loving socialist
democrat, then I would expect you to want to save this child from themself
because you know best.  On the other hand, if you follow negative liberty,
as I do, you would think it's not government's duty to get it's nose
involved since it's none of your business what someone else does.

I don't know these people's situation, if they live in the country, or a
crime ridden neighborhood, or if their over eating is genetic, or
emotionally induced. I do know that the "Food Industry" spends $30B per
year on inducements to get you to eat, and the government spends a
couple of million in nutrition education.

A CONVERSATION WITH: MARION NESTLE; An 'Eat More' Message For a
Fattened America

By MARY DUENWALD
Published: February 19, 2002

. . . .

Q. How does the food industry promote overeating?

A. Just by promoting eating. By spending $10 billion a year in direct
media advertising. That is so much more than is spent on health and
nutrition education, you can't even put them in the same stratosphere.
The campaign for fruits and vegetables spends about $2 million a year on
public education.

The food industry spends another $20 billion a year in indirect
marketing, which would include things like the McDonald's Mealtime Set
and soft-drink makers' putting their logos on school scoreboards. These
practices are so acceptable that people think drinking soft drinks all
the time is normal. You're being told in a thousand ways, every time you
set foot in a restaurant, to eat more. Their job is to sell you food, to
sell you drinks, to sell you appetizers and desserts.
. . .

I just wanted to share that with those of you who are smug in your
condescension.
