Fattening the sheep for slaughter

Utahns are battling excessive weight caused by genetics, life- style, eating habits or some combination of these factors. One in every four children in Utah age 5 to 14 is either overweight or at risk of becoming overweight. And many of these children have a parent who is overweight, too. Consider this: More than 20 percent of Utahns in the "parenting age group" 35 to 44 are over weight; more than 15 percent of those ages 25 to 34 are over weight. Having one over weight parent can triple the odds a child will struggle with weight as an adult. But more than genetics is at work here: Like their parents, children consume too much sugar, fried and refined foods and don't get as much exercise as they need. Health problems once largely the bane of adults: Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, liver disease and cardiovascular disease - problems that are likely to also plague them as adults if they can't get their weight under control. It won't be long till the Dominant faith has all their heard ready for slaughter...Glory and Victory to the Republicans they have captured more of the state of utah with the direct help of the LDS Church...What a Tasty meal for nuclear radiation and corporate greed..
