I simply have no words

That will express my utter disbelief of people such those as mentioned here

The problem at first was that the problem was ignored: For almost two decades, young people in the United States got fatter and fatter — ate more, sat more — and nobody seemed to notice. Not parents or schools, not medical groups or the government.

But since the alarm was finally sounded in the late 1990s, the problem has been the country’s reaction: a fragmented, inchoate response that critics say has suffered particularly from inadequate direction and dollars at the federal level.

“The sense of this as a national health priority just doesn’t come through,” said Jeffrey P. Koplan of Emory University, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and chairman of the Institute of Medicine’s 2004 study of childhood obesity. The top recommendation of that seminal report was for the government to convene a high-level, interdepartmental task force to guide a coordinated response.

How about there is no reason for a response from the federal government when it comes down to you, me or anyone else on the planet having a fat ass.

What kind of response would the fed be able to put together: A set of PSA’s that 99.999% of the populace will ignore or mock? Or is Koplan hoping that the fed will frogmarch tubby-fuckers to fat camp so as to improve their health for them?

Seeing as how that is what governments around the world are best at, I’m honestly wondering.
