BCT Editorial – 4/10/09

Get moving; Editorial; Beaver County Times; April 10, 2009.

The editorial subtitle is “Parents and others must do more to counter childhood obesity.”

This is another editorial similar to “Lighten up.”

Here’s the key sentence in this editorial: “This is a personal issue, a lifestyle issue, a socio-economic issue, a governmental issue [my emphasis] and, most important of all, a parental issue.” As I’ve noted before, the Times is already laying the groundwork for imposing obesity regulations. You may recall in “Belly up” (7/31/06), the Times said, “We wish some school district would monitor the content of the food that children bring in their lunch boxes.”
