Thank you, Kate Harding, you’ve nailed it down and driven it home:
Children’s bodies are not a problem for the government to solve.
It’s such a simple concept, isn’t it? So why is it so hard for the fuckers to grasp?
Let’s say it again, with emphasis:
Children’s bodies are not a problem for the government to solve.
Children’s bodies are not a problem for the government to solve.
Children’s bodies are not a problem for the government to solve.
Children’s bodies are not a fucking problem for the government to solve.
End of story.
By the way, if you haven’t already, go and read Junkfood Science’s take on the NSW Government’s Munch ‘n’ Move program (and as well as pretty much every thing Sandy has ever written.)
I agree. Unfortunately it seems that many people in this and the last century really look to government to solve just about any problem they perceive to exist. So maybe it’s not that simple after all.
Too bloody true!!!1
My niece is 3 and my nephew is 1. I really don’t want them screwed up by this garbage.
