      <![CDATA[I have no problem with state government making some public education efforts on this matter, even some adjustments in the food stamp or school lunch programs. It is costing taxpayers millions, if not billions, because our citizens, many of them low income and needing public assistance, are too damn fat.

      <![CDATA[Many children are eating ALL of their meals at school now or are taking their evening meal home from school in a bag after having breakfast, lunch, and snack at school. School is where much of the focus needs to be, with more nutritious offerings, including whole grains without exception, and a reduction of choices -- vegetables go onto every kid's plate unless he or she is allergic.

      <![CDATA[I am obese (but I'm working on it), and I see nothing wrong with a task force that focuses on improving healthy eating habits in the hopes of addressing a public health problem, which includes increased rates of diabetes and other diseases that are exacerbated by poor food choices/options. <br>
<br>
That said, I have to disagree with Betsy's conclusion that tater tots are yummy.

      <![CDATA["So why do we have to make fat people the problem in order to do it?"<br>
<br>
Um, I think both _unhealthiness through obesity_ is the problem that's attempting to be solved; it just happens to occur most frequently in... well... fat people.<br>
<br>
Call me crazy, but I don't think it's a stretch to fund community health efforts by using problems within community health that are easiest to quantify. Obesity is one of those things that's easiest to check when it's solved.
