Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced Tuesday that the U.S. Forest Service will contribute $500,000 this year to the “More Kids in the Woods” program for projects that promote active lifestyles and connect kids to nature. “If we are going to put an end to childhood obesity, we must promote healthy, active lifestyles and encourage our kids to get off the couch and go outside,” Vilsack said. “Our More Kids in the Woods challenge not only promotes physical activity, it fosters environmental awareness and stewardship among young people as we face critical environmental challenges, such as the effects of climate change.” Vilsack said the initiatives supported by the program will help children make a connection among “healthy forests, healthy communities and their own healthy lifestyles.”...MoreAll you parents step back - the Forest Service is taking over teaching your kids how to eat, how to enjoy nature and how to be more "active". Yes sir, your kids will grow up buff and as good little greenies who support larger budgets for the Forest Service.
If anything is obese its the Forest Service and I don't remember Smokey being all that slim either. However, we should all get ready for "ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT OBESITY".
So I consulted with Gus & Woodrow and they said the parents should do their job without the help of any federal agents and that the real trimming needs to be done at the federal table. I got them to back off on the dally and drag thing, but it was clear they don't want the federales messin' with our kids.

I can almost feel America getting thinner knowing that the Forest Service has taken up the cause. However, I wonder if with the resulting loss of bio-mass in the Northern Hemisphere might effect the rotational speed of the Earth which could cause earthquakes, hurricanes, and add to global warming? Has anyone thought about that? I would feel better if there was an expensive government study to reassure us that we will be safe as well as slim.
And when the 14 year old spud that weights in at 300 pounds has to be choppered out 'cause he couldn't climb a small hill, who's gonna pay for that?
