Tuesday

I haven't done very much since posting my last blog on Sunday, I went out to dinner with Pattisue at the China Buffet Sunday evening.   I didn't make it to church at all, I was too tired still from driving.  As I've said before, I'm too old for these capers.

I have been watching the news on television and this caught my attention.  The obesity epidemic here, and the political correctness lobby, have reached new heights of absurdity.

 

We now have fat Barbie.  Whoever thought, back in the day, that Barbie would get fat.  But it is to help obese children feel better about themselves.   Now, don't get me wrong.  I am all in favour of making a child feel better - and I recognise that obesity here is largely a poverty issue - but this is not the answer.   Children should be given a healthier diet, not fat Barbies to play with.

 

Hundreds of new laws have been passed, coming into effect tomorrow.  I am still looking, but here is one to be getting on with.    In Oregon a law has been passed allowing new mothers to take home their baby's placenta.    Yew!!!    Can you see that being introduced in the House as a Private Member's Bill?   MP's would be rolling in the aisles.
