Body Mass Index Bill

[Revolution]

A bill introduced this month in Congress would put the federal and state governments in the business of tracking how fat, or skinny, American children are.

How much of a nanny state has this country become? The only real solution I see if states want to get out of this (something they shouldn't have to do in the first place) is not accept grants. This is ludicrous. Thank you so much Representative Kind for allowing government to get more, and more, and more control over it's citizens.

And this guy is representing MY state!

Deval Patrick tried to push the same nonsense in my state, but the school committees throughout the state pitched a fit because it is ridiculous, and yet another unfunded mandate.   

It went to committee for further study (code phrase for death of a bill).

Very good news.
