Funny in a sick way, for those into that, maybe. Publicity, maybe. But effective? Not at all, probably more the opposite. How much of that money could have gone to a public gardening project, or a healthy snacks for kids program, or whatever?PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391277875371518678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-27632842854873311502008-01-21T17:25:00.000-06:002008-01-21T17:25:00.000-06:00So now our tax dollars are going toward insulting ...So now our tax dollars are going toward insulting fat people?

Why didn't society think of this years ago? we should start shaming overweight children as soon as they are old enough to understand that they are bad people for being too big. We could continue this for their entire lives, letting them know that in every way they don't measure up (intentional pun).<BR/>Oh wait this program is already in place, never mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-56653336021173416542008-01-19T11:58:00.000-06:002008-01-19T11:58:00.000-06:00I think we can expect more of this kind of "nannyi...I think we can expect more of this kind of "nannyism", no matter who is in the White House. Government intrusiveness into all aspects of our personal lives is already out of hand and is only getting worse.

Will this help their self image? I'm afraid something like this might just give bulimic and anorexics more fuel for their fire.
