And City Hall should be involved in this because . . .?

The headline in a recent edition of The Dallas Morning News says: "Dallas City Council: Fitness initiative for kids outlined." The lead paragraphs explains, "Childhood obesity and its terrible corollary, diabetes were the top subject of the Dallas City Council on Wednesday as members listened to details of a new plan aimed at helping kids eat better and get fit."

Where, pray tell, did the City Council get the idea that getting kids to eat right and exercise was its responsibility? It's not like they don't have enough to legitimately work on.

We've got to wake up and get the government, from the municipal to the federal, out of our private lives!
