Our English cousins over the pond are content with eating themselves fat to a stupor given recent back lashes faced by healthy eating campaigners such as Jamie Oliver & U.S. First Lady Mrs Obama. For getting our beloveth eat healthy is as arduous a task as having an elephant fit into a size 0 tankini: unworkable. It is Utopian to imagine XXL Americans accept any healthy eating stimulus of any sort if it isn't deep fried,pan fried,or sizzling oozing with tons of fat slapped in ketchup and Dijon mustard. Jamie Oliver's TV show on the ABC network earlier on this year showed children in America's fattest city: Huntington-West Virginia; mistaking vine tomatoes as potatoes...
The First Lady Michelle Obama's 'Lets Move!' initiative (aimed at tackling America's disgraceful ever rising childhood obesity rate) last Wednesday celebrated it's first anniversary and to mark this; our graceful cousins produced a caricature mocking Mrs Obama as an overweight woman stuffing her face with mountain pile hamburgers besides a twig thin salad eating Mr Obama.The cartoons are of poor taste and highlight how myopic Americans are over such an important issue clogging up their coronary health.
17% of American children and adolescents between 2-19 years are obese(CDC). Two thirds of Americans are obese with the overall burden of the disease costing $147million per anum(CBS News). It is greatly disturbing to see Mrs Obama's campaign being ridiculed as such.The untreatable wart of American politics with a vacuous space where her brain should be(Sarah Pack-It-In) voiced her fatuous concerns over the Obesity campaign remarking 'What (Michelle Obama) is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat.' Well given the rate and burden of current childhood obesity...clearly not. Perhaps the First Lady should try deep frying 'Lets Move!' in litres of fat and serve them on a bed of American fries accompanied by XXL can of pop. This may just get the attention of our XXL cousins.
