WASHINGTON (AP) — Trying to shrink the growing waistlines of children, lawmakers want to expel soda, candy bars, chips and other junk food from the nation’s schools.

Dangerous weight is on the rise in kids. This week, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the rate of obese and overweight kids has climbed to 18 percent of boys and 16 percent of girls. Four years ago, the number was 14 percent.

Lawmakers blame high-fat, high-sugar snacks that compete with nutritious meals in schools.

“Junk food sales in schools are out of control,” Senator Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, senior Democrat on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee, said Thursday. “It undercuts our investment in school meal programs and steers kids toward a future of obesity and diet-related disease.”

Of course we have Cheney’s secret Energy Task Force. Things that were suppose to be on the Daily Registry and Federal Registry, so the public could know and debate, were purposely kept off. They attack science. No one can believe anything coming out of this administration, because if they don’t like the numbers they either stop it all together or manipuate them.

Way back when, I recall someone saying that no time in history has any President politicized sol much. When Bush says, just trust me, I want to say are you crazy man!

Earth Day is coming up, April 22. Wouldn’t it wonderful if as many people demonstrated for the Earth, as did for immigration.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Life is tough enough when you are relatively in good health. I guess it’s always worse when it’s something that could have been prevented. And when you go to teh FDA website, they sound more like sales pitches than consumer informtaion. Very disheartening.

I think it’s rich, greed politicians since Jimmy Carter who’ve set bad environmental policy. Clinton included. He did a lot of favors for the Indutrialist who helped fund his campaign that were not in the best interest of the people. Bush is even worse because he doesn’t even try to negotiate. Just sides with Big Industry every time, no matter the consequences. We need to vote them all out and replace them with true representatives of the People, not Corporate America.

I couldn’t agree more. They’d sell us packaged cow manure if they could figure how how to market it to the general public. I unplugged myself from that Matrix and don’t miss it on any level. I read labels, avoid preservatives and cook my own meals. In fact, I’m vegan and stay away from the meat all together. Getting ready to plant some vegetables for the season. Nothing like homemade pasta sauce from home grown tomatoes… And my cats eat better than most people. It’s expensive to buy the good stuff, but less expensive than the medical complications in the long run.

I try to educate the kids a bit about this kind of stuff, without rocking the boat too much. I figure it’s all about education, you know?

Thanks for your thoughts on my cousin.

I have a grave concern that there those in power who DO belive this and are doing, consciously or unconsciously, whatever it takes to bring the “end times” to reality.

I have come to believe that that which is called the Bible is but man’s perversion of the truth.

Can we change from this path? Yes. Will we before it is too late? I do not know.

I have seen the eastern seaboard of the United States in flames, and the earth covered with fog and ice. This vision grows stronger with the passing months.

Isn’t that Stephanie Miller’s future husband???
(Inside joke if you listen to Stephanie Miller – which I recommend since her father was Goldwater’s running mate…. and she has since “seen the light.” FUNNY LADY!)

I’d vote for Hackett in a heartbeat.

For some reason our collective b*lls have been cut off.
It’s the “Democratic Syndrome.” We need to simply band together and say, “No More of this Bullsh*t.”

I truly believe enough voices can affect change.
