Well the government is at it again. Our First Lady, Michelle Obama, is on her crusade to “help” our obese children trim that excess weight. Great, I am all for our children being healthier. None of us want to see our children have health issues or to endure teasing. There are just a couple of problems here, though. First, I am the parent, not the government. And secondly, this is about power not our kids.
The first problem is that as a parent it is my responsibility to take care of my children, not the governments. My husband and I are the ones who decide what our children eat and what exercise they get. We don’t want the government involved any more than they already are.
Government involvement usually spells disaster. The diets of American citizens are not the place for government involvement.
This leads me to why I think they are doing this in the first place. They want more power. They want to take away more freedoms and make us more dependent on the government. A little socialism here, a little communism there. Little by little they will have the power they want. This is just part of the master plan to “transform America”.
We as Americans need to stay awake. We need to protect our freedoms. If I want to eat a Twinkie then I’ll eat a Twinkie. I will pay the consequences if I shouldn’t have eaten it. That’s between God and me. Not the government and me.
