If the government is going to get involved in the obesity epidemic (finally), they should take it seriously. Taking kids from their parents for being fat is only going to make people mistrust the government and it's not going to fix the problem.
We need a radical restructuring of the subsidy program. Subsidies should not be blanket given to corn because it's in a battleground/primary state. That is the central reason as to why we're fat. By subsidizing unhealthy foods, we're making obesity inevitable. If we're to subsidize the production of food, we should do so evenly across all grown foods from vegetables to fruit to nuts and seeds and whole grains.
But getting back to the specific topic at hand, kids should jot be taken from their parents due only to obesity.
