Woman Handing Out Letters, Not Halloween Candy (if she deems the child "moderately obese.")


A local woman stated her intentions to take childhood obesity into her own hands during a Y-94 radio interview the morning of Oct. 29.

She has decided to give a letter instead of candy to Halloween trick or treaters that she feels are "moderately obese."

"I just want to send a message to the parents of kids that are really overweight... I think it's just really irresponsible of parents to send them out looking for free candy just 'cause all the other kids are doing it," says the author in a Y-94 morning radio interview.

That's where the letter first surfaced and started to spread through social media.

"They were chatting today and got a call from Cheryl out of the blue who really wanted to voice her opinion about obesity and that it really takes an entire community to solve the obesity challenge," says Y-94 Program and Music Director JT.

... lot of comments that the lady is (shaming, moralizing, pompous, snobish, etc) ...

And then the cluebat shows up:

38. Since insurance is now a public interest

this is just the first of the "suggestions" and it won't be long before we're hearing this kind of thing from government spokespeople

I don't want to pay extra because some fat kid or his parents can't keep his food intake under control. Since smokers have to pay more, so should everyone that costs us all more.

The moonbats have not picked up on the irony yet...

I am just wondering if solarhydrocan as a good lib even pays taxes. That would be ironic.

Sounds like a good way to get her house egged.

I predict that by 2020 there will be EBT cards issued to every citizen and they will track your food and restaurant purchases. You will not be able to buy food any other way. Depending on how much you make or don't make will determine how much you pay or don't pay for your monthly subsistence card.

You know this will at least be floated in the next 3 years.

As to paying for fat kids and their parents. I don't want to pay for some drug addict's treatment but i have to. I don't want to pay for some welfare baby mother's maternity care but I have to. I don't want to pay for vision and dental of some welfare baby mother's child but I have to.

I'm beginning to think this just might be another one way leftist street.

The Reichs Arbeit Minister err, 'Secretary of Labor,' after consultation with the Bureau of Health and Eugenics umm, sorry, USDA and HHS, has determined that you will only require 2100 Calories per day for men of working age and 1800 for women.  New ration books will be issued accordingly on the first of the month.  Strength through joy!

I don't know what they're getting so worked up over. They have no problem with schools banning unhealthy snacks or Bloomberg taking away Big Gulps or smokers being ostracized.
