Living The Dream

Like many of us, New Jersey woman Donna Simpson has a problem with her weight. But where we (including some on this very page) may struggle from week to week to take off the pounds, Simpson is headed the other way.

Donna has a goal too - to become the world's fattest woman. She's one for the books already - reaching the title of world's fattest mother in 2007 at 531 lbs. after the birth of her daughter. Currently weighing in at 631 lbs, Ms Simpson hopes to reach her goal weight of 1,000 lbs through a strict regimen of junk food and sedentary living. "I'd love to be 1,000 lbs," said Simpson, "but it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down."

Fight the good fight, Donna...fight the good fight.

Obama Onslaught on Obese Over-reaching?

Ms. Gunlock over at NRO raises the specter of the Nanny State in FLOTUS's new focus on childhood obesity. I get it. I'm no fan of government expansion even if it is to help forestall the expansion of our nation's waistlines. Yet, when she suggests, not surprisingly, that parental guidance is the key, it falls it bit fat...err flat for me when I recall that six in 10 Americans are overweight or obese. Call me crazy, but if Mom and Dad aren't quite sure how to eat healthily, maybe their guidance to Junior is going to be a bit off. There's got to be a solution in between. Thoughts?
