Fat government
When is something going to be done
about these people? Six young brothers and sisters face being taken from their parents and put into care because they are overweight.Social workers have warned they will intervene if three of the youngsters – including a 12-year-old boy who weighs 16 stone – do not shed several pounds in three months.
Needless-to-say, I'm talking about the social workers, not the parents.
According to the Mail:
The shocking development highlights Britain's childhood obesity crisis, which has already forced those as young as 13 to seek NHS weight-loss surgery.
No it doesn't. What it highlights is Britain's nanny state crisis. Let's get things straight: this is none of the government's business.
