Cafeteria Cams Track Students' Calorie Consumption at School

Time:

School lunches have been getting a lot of attention, especially since President Obama signed a $4.5-billion bill last December to improve the quality of students' meals. In Los Angeles, the schools superintendent announced this week he was considering a ban on sugary chocolate milk, while in San Antonio, health researchers installed cameras in lunch rooms to monitor what kids were eating.

The San Antonio program, made possible by a $2 million research grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, involves placing cameras in cafeteria lines and in the trash area in order to document what kids buy for lunch and how much of it they consume.

The childhood obesity "crisis" is no more a crisis than the discredited global warming scam. Both are designed to increase government power over individuals and to funnel cash to the parasites who keep these tyrants in power. The warming fraud is now dying a slow and painful death but this one is just gaining speed within the government schools and is part of an overall strategy to usurp parental rights and responsibilities in order to create uneducated, but well indoctrinated and malleable servants of the state.

What better way to get kids used to their private, individual choices being scrutinized by unelected hacks than to do it in the elementary school cafeteria line. This assault on liberty is almost entirely based on the simplistic and misleading Body Mass Index that was adopted by government to measure obesity in the 80's. But the BMI, which has also been discredited as misleading at best, as it compares only height to weight and makes no allowances for differing growth patterns in children, nor does differentiate between muscle and fat. According to the BMI, Donovan McNabb, Reggie Bush and Tom Brady are all obese. And they will be counted as such in the governments plans to record all of our BMI's as part of Obamacare . Imagine how many other things the government will claim the need to monitor and control when they can declare the whole country as too fat for freedom.
