Panaceas
What manner of evil is this?
Children could get diet pills
Children as young as 12 could be given anti-obesity drugs to help them shed excess weight.
Surely drugs are designed to treat medical problems? Being a fat ass is not usually a medical condition but is in fact caused by a variety of issues. One of them is the government starving schools of cash so that they are forced into selling their playing fields to property developers. Another is the media hype surrounding 'paedos' who, if you read the tabloids or watch any TV news broadcast, are lurking round every corner. This is all hysteria of course, child abductions are no more common now than they were 30 years ago. In the vast majority of cases where children are killed or otherwise abused the murderer/abuser is a parent. So if kids are outside playing, they are less likely to be hurt. Of course, Playstations and the like also play their part as does the seemingly total rejection of parental responsibility. If a kid is fat it's the school's fault, Burger King's fault never the parent
We need to be treating the causes not the symptoms. Get the little bastards doing cross-country runs twice a week. Provide them with areas where they can play imaginatively - this will improve their minds as well as their bodies. Educate the parents without allowing them to abdicate their responsibilities. It's really not that difficult. Is it?
