I know of a company that sent out letters to all their employees that says it is mandatory that all the employees have complete physicals before a certain date and if the doctor says "loose weight", then YOU LOOSE WEIGHT! If he says "take this medication", then YOU TAKE IT! If he says "exercise 1 hour 3 time a week, then DO IT!

Just wait.... it is going to get better or should I say worse? Just wait, we haven't seen nothing yet!

Don't be blinded by your ideologies. The fat police and smoke detectives have the full support of YOUR party too!
stillkit is right, restaurants in new york city cannot cook with salt, thanks mayor bloomberg.

if you dont want to be around smokers, dont be, if you dont want to drink sugared soda pop, dont. but these need to be our personal choices, not the governments.
