Fighting Fat in Fargo
« on: Thu, 31 October 2013, 08:22:54 »
Just read an interesting article where one concerned lady in Fargo, ND is going to hand out letters to obese children rather than giving them candy on Halloween. Do you all think she is doing the right thing?

I'm not quite sure what to think about it so far, but I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Also just because someone thinks a child 'looks' obese doesn't mean they have unhealthy eating habits anymore so than a skinny child who eats junk all the time, believe me, I have a 5yr who we have been trying to fatten up her entire life and it just isn't happening....

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
