Is It Time To Exterminate Fat People?

Have we finally come to the time when "fat people" are such a strain on the general public that it's now time to exterminate them for the betterment of society?
Now, that may sound like an incredibly insensitive and absurd question but how absurd was the question of women having abortions in 1910 or the question, in 1944, should children be allowed to begin the school day with prayer? Even as late as 1960 it would have been an absurdity to question if reciting the "Pledge of Allegiance" was appropriate in school.

This is from the Associated Press and Wall Street Journal.
"A pair of Harvard scholars writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association advocate stripping away the custody rights of parents of obese children."
"Despite the discomfort posed by state intervention, it may sometimes be necessary to protect a child," said Lindsey Murtagh, a lawyer and researcher at Harvard's School of Public Health. The study's co-author, David Ludwig, says taking away peoples' children "ideally will support not just the child but the whole family, with the goal of reuniting child and family as soon as possible." Ludwig, an obesity specialist at Harvard-affiliated Children's Hospital, said his eureka moment was when a 90-pound, 3-year-old girl entered his obesity clinic a number of years ago," reports Lindsey Tanner at the Associated Press."
If there is already much strong public criticism about people being overweight and talk of removing overweight children from their parents, Mrs Obama has taken good nutrition as one of her "passionate interests", however it didn't prevent her from having a huge plate of ribs while in Denver or decrease her dress size, how long before the government dictates that us fat people have to go?
When the matter of abortion on demand has been questioned it's met with the liberal mantra "the government has no place in a woman's womb". When the matter of perverted sex comes up it's met with the liberal mantra "there is no place for the government in our bedrooms". Now the question is raised about what we eat and not only is the government in our kitchens they are crawling into our bellies. If the liberals are really interested in the general public losing weight I would suggest the best way for the public to lose a tremendous amount of weight is simply by the government getting off our backs.

It seems this crazy idea is being met with the same attitudes people took toward those crazy ideas about abortions on demand, no praying in school and doing away with the incandescent light bulb. Those crazy things came true.

I think most people would say that a child should be removed from an abusive home or a home that someone was making drugs, correct?

So, if a parent is feeding a child say 4000 calories a day to the point their 3 years old is 90 lbs. That is not abuse or bad parenting? Several medical experts have proven that eaten release chemicals in the brain much like some drugs.

I am no fan of big government but abuse and bad life choices SHOULD have consequence.

juvenile diabetes is on the rise, the number of obese children is on the rise. I might be wrong but I don't think all of those kids going back up to the buffet for the 3rd time with their parents all have a thyroid problem.

However, I will point out, I am not a trained medical professional. Nor have I played one on TV.

You're right 10:07 that's why we have to get the kids away from their parents and into preK before they reach the age of two.
The government controls what we eat and drink, they control how it is flushed away guess all that's left is when I can use the toilet.
Can't smoke, can't eat, can't drink, can't have sex, can't raise my kids guess all I'm good for is paying taxes.
