[delldude]

Oh by the way, it was google news search that brought it up.

OBTW, it isn't being covered by US-MSM....wonder why.

So I your eyes 4000 dead American's and god knows how many Iraqi's is no big deal because a god fearing conservative was at the helm?

Never said 4000 dead American's was not a big deal ! "IT" has been brought up on this forum , more than once !
Why do you feel 4 American deaths are no big deal and want to sweep the whole matter under the rug ?

So you admit that you did not research anything yet again and that the company did blame the shut down on the unions?

Don't you get tired of being constantly proven wrong?

Where did I admit anything ? The union went on strike and shut the company down...................period, end of report ! Move along, nothing more to see here !

The first lady having no power to make laws over the foods we eat.

Nope, no power whatsoever...

With his wife by his side, President Obama on Monday signed the child nutrition bill, strongly pushed by the first lady, who has made nutrition part of her campaign to help the young get healthy.

This caused the 750 calorie lunches that are being protested in school districts all across the country... another rousing success of imposing values...

Last time I checked Hostess went to court and filed the chapter 7 motion, not the BTCGM.

After BTCGM rejected the last offer, that's the next step in the process isn't it?

Make's sense to some of us , Dell !

But loads of influence.......

The evolution of electronics is a big issue with exercise these days. Kids don't seem to 'play' outside much around here at least. Not like when I was a kid.
It was ingrained into daily activity during my school years then went away.

That's part of it. Kids nowadays have any number of electronic gadgets at their fingertips. Add to that the number of jobs that require physical labor in this country has gone down. More people sitting behind a desk burning very few calories while they type.

You can say the same thing though about every other industrialized country in the world. Those same countries do not have the problem with obesity that we do. So we have to go back to what we as Americans are consuming on a day to day basis.

So is consuming massive amounts of empty calories a "value" you approve of?

Then show me the same amount of outrage you have over the death of four Americans in Libya with the deaths of American soldiers killed in Iraq driving around in unarmored HUMVEE's. Or killed by weapons that should have been secured but were not becasue there were not enough troops to do so.

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

You mean those dead soldiers were asking for armor, even begging, and they didn't get it in time to prevent their death?

I can't seem to find the EOleson thread on that one.

Not sure why we're talking about this in the HO-HO thread but I believe any American death, in war, whether it is 4 or 4000 a tragedy and wonder why "You" don't share the same concern for deaths at Benghazi as you seem to do for any other soldier or citizen , whether in Iraq or Afghanistan ?
As I've said the number of deaths in Iraq have been brought up many times and "IS" significant, but the minute someone questions what happened to a pawltry 4 Americans, in Benghazi, it's a non-issue and needs to be swept under the rug as fast as possible !

Keep that in mind as conservatives continue to call for slashing education budgets; PE is usually pretty close to the top of the list for things to go first.

You can say the same thing though about every other industrialized country in the world. Those same countries do not have the problem with obesity that we do. So we have to go back to what we as Americans are consuming on a day to day basis.

True. Also important to note just how "car dependent" so many of our cities are. People can't walk or ride a bike to many places they need to go, even if they want to...

Agenda 21 will fix that.

Very true.

As Dell said, I remember hitting the park, or street and playing some kind of game (baseball, basketball, soccer) from the time I got home from school until I was forced to go to bed.

We also did all the yard work. TV was a small thing we did on Saturday mornings watching cartoons.

I am all for any influence anyone can exert on the parents of obese children to get this epidemic under control.

I remember running around until the street lights came on. That's when it was time to come in. Didn't want dad having to come look for me.

I also remember being able to count the number of fat kids in school on one hand. Nowadays you're goin to need a lot of hands to count them.
