Dumb!

so the state knows how many kids are fat, then what? doctors tell them to stop eating junk?

how about educating citizens on the dangers of GMO foods, actually label foods with GMO's and take GMO food out of schools...then the gov't can stop lying to its people about GMO's. they're banned in europe, but not here....gee, why is that?

don't allow people to buy junkfood with bridgecards....

remove all this advertising for garbage that people call 'food'....the media is Huge for brainwashing everyone to eat this disgusting crap. Get the media under control regardless....its out of control.

for starters.

I like the govenor, but I dont like this. Its not the states business how fat I am, or how fat my kids are. Its my business how many big macs we eat.
