If our gov't is so concerned about the obesity epidemic, bring back gym to the classroom. If they are so concerned about diabetes, let diabetics get free equipment, blood tests, and equipment. Don't talk about eating healthy and exercising when food prices are thru the roof, and joining a gym are high.
It really is about universal healthcare coverage for everyone, healthy or chronically sick.
Smoking cigars, pipes, cigarettes is a personal choice. The same for alcohol. The gov't is getting too personal with these issues. They have no business in regulating these. None at all. We are not a socialist country. It makes my ears perk up when the gov't wants to control more and more. I worry about the future.
I have to say I don't trust our gov't. Look at our vets fighting agent orange. Or the ones coming back from Iraq with lost limbs, ptsd, and so on and on.
