love this part -
One of the services provided under the new guidelines, obesity screenings, directly impacts the first lady's signature issue, the Let's Move campaign to prevent childhood obesity.

How about we just stop being politically correct and while I drop my kids off at school I just say "Hey fatty" (substitute lard a$$, chubbo, porky, blimp, etc.) to all the "obese" kids, saving not only inusrance costs but their lazy parents ride to the doctor for a "screening"

I couldn't agree more.

The early shadows of the nanny state cast their dark and ugly gloom when they clamored for kids to eat vegetables in the 1980's. Like where does ketchup come from?

Then in the 1990's they denied our children their GOD GIVEN RIGHT to tasty sodas between classes. High fructose corn syrup is made from CORN you know, corn is very healthy and without it we'd have no HEARTLAND IN AMERICA.

Now it's the great diabetes SCANDAL designed to seize individual freedoms in the name of "heath" but really just another notch towards a SOCIALISTIC STATE.

As a responsible parent of a 6 year old who's healthy, tall and thin I don't know what some of these people are thinking.

Just get better DNA!

Parental responsibility, not the governments responsibility. See your response to Fishbones in the racism thread. Treat people as equals and they'll learn self respect. People with fat kids will always fat kids.
You and PaulS are to blind or too ignorant to see that this is another "handout" by the government, forcing insurance companies to offer a service. Now heres the part - SOMEONE HAS TO PAY FOR IT and that someone is YOU! The working American. Insurance Cos will raise there rates to cover this!
ROI? Are you kidding me? When you have deep pockets you dont need one, you just keep taxing and taxing and taxing!
