The Puerto Ricans are staring down the barrel of a monster

child obesity epidemic.

It’s currently estimated that 24% -30% of their children are obese.

Pretty f#cking scary!

So a senator is hoping to introduce a program called

“the healthy child program”

It basically looks at fining the parents of an obese child.

On the grounds that they are responsible,

viewing it as a form of child cruelty.

Here’s a link with more details on it:

What do you think:

good idea?

or a bit over the top?

Let me know your opinion,

especially those of you with young kids.

I think this is a fascinating debate,

so would appreciate your feedback on it.
