    I think that it is the loony left trying to make sure that the ALP continues its outstanding record of losing when the government is doing everything it can to help them win! The obvious answer (ie sport at school) is not for these nutters because it:
    1. involves teachers in supervising risky activity
    2. might lead to more of all the things about Australia that they disapprove of - teamwork, leadership, self-reliance, accepting that everyone has different levels of accomplishment at different skills and working with that rather than pretending that we are all eqully talented, etc.
    Much better to regulate even if it won't have any effect than to do something effective which has those risks!!!
    Cheers

    I reckon that they are bloody awful!

    Absolute sugar overload in the donut and then they add these sickly sweet fillings. Yeck!

    I really don't understand the attraction.

    Well maybe for kids I do, but adults? No way.

    Wow, the only doughnuts we get are the old cinnamon kind from the baker. I used to love them as a kid, taste like sweetened grease now.
    Boring signature time again!

    The estimated financial cost of obesity in 2005 was 3.767 billion $$$. It is estimated that nearly 30% of the population will be classified obese by 2025. Add these figures to an aging popluation and it's scary to think what the future holds when you consider basic figures like these.

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    I was genetically a geek, which is a nerd with worse dress sence and les ball skills , I know where you are comming from here, and it made no difference to me. Though I think a lot of the problem is parents have been scared of letting their kids roam. I grew up in Warrandyte, it is surrounded in national parks. I would spend most of my school holidays wandering around these, would leave home mid morning, wouldnt get back until dinner time. So I guess that was how I got my exercise. This was the late 70's through the 80's. Now parents wont let their kids out of their sight, so the kids either sit at home on the computer or in front of the TV, or the parents send all their time running the kids to "organised activities". I think the media needs to back off the scare mongering. The dangers that the kids of today face are no greater than the dangers that we (or at least I) faced, it is just the media have sensationalised them.

    well thats my opinion, give the kids some space and chance to run and most of the obesity will disappear.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    I stopped at 1/2 a doughnut , couldn't understand why people queded up for hours when it first opened down the road. But extremely well marketed.
