    You vill eat for the Homeland.

    Seriously -- the shitstorm is a'coming. Especially if/when Obamacare goes through. We'll all be doing jumping jacks at gunpoint.

    Citizens: Pay your taxes! Eat your gruel! Live long -- but not too long!

    Another "sounds good, why bother with the science" measure. And yeah, like I believe that part about meals planned by kids being better than those planned by their parents - no "suggestions" from teacher, right?

    My BMI says I am very overweight or slightly obese, and it is right. But my BMI is probably lower than any professional NBA or NFL or NHL professional player...

    Oh yes, the BMI figures for kids under fifteen? They're guesses, with less actual data than BMI figures for 20-95 year-olds.

    I don't see why these rules should just apply to children.

    Kidding. Egad.

    Why so worried? It's all being done for the children, and that's all the farther it will ever go. Since when has government EVER overstepped its authority and passed far-reaching, well-intended, ultimately counter-productive, and actually-does-more-harm-than-good laws? Sheesh, it's not like there's any precedence to spark this worry...

    According to BMI most NFL players are obese. Having watched them play at Fed Ex field I think that they are much more in shape than the rest of us as BMI counts muscle weight as fat.

    Another reason to never trust the government.
