On The Idiocy Of Congress And Obesity

We all I'm conservative enough to raise an entire herd of elephants, so it should come as no surprise that, yet again, the government is attempting to govern part of our lives that that have absolutely no business governing. A bill has just been passed in congress, supported by Michelle Obama, that not only will limit bake sales in school, but will dictate what foods are sold in vending machines. Seriously, how are the American people not revolting against the government? Who is the government to decide that children cannot have bake sales to raise money for their clubs or student activities. When I was still in school I loved coming together with my friends for bake sales, attempting to raise money for good causes. The fact that Michelle Obama and congress is so power-hungry and blind to allow the passage of such a ludicrous act is disgusting. The government has no place to decide such things! If your kid is fat, as a parent, don't let your kids buy fattening foods. The government has no place in the way a parent raises his child. And, furthering the idiocy of this bill is the fact that it will limit what foods schools can sell in vending machines. Come on. If I give my kid a dollar, I want him to be able to go and get a Twix bar after he finishes his lunch. Now, if my kid was fat, of course I wouldn't provide him with that extra dollar. The government has no place dictating such a basic function as to what my child eats. That is a choice he, and I as his parent, should make. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I feel that $4.5 billion (That's 4,500,000,000 [See all those zeroes?]) could be put to better use. Perhaps this money could be used to, oh, maybe fix the economy.
