Feds to Weigh Children in Daycare

First Lady Michelle Obama / AP

Bureaucrats from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will weigh and measure children in daycare as part of a study mandated by First Lady Michelle Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.

The agency published a notice in the Federal Register on Friday proposing data collection on what meals are served in professional and home daycare facilities and how much physical activity children perform.

Aside from assessing how healthy the food in daycare is, the USDA will also check the weight and height of roughly 3,000 children.

“Children will be asked to cooperate with study staff who will weigh and measure them for the Standing Height and Weight Form,” the notice said.

The study is required by section 223 of Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, which was championed by Mrs. Obama and passed in 2010. The main aspect of the law implemented new standards for school lunches.

A lesser-known requirement of the law is the “Study on Nutrition and Wellness Quality in Childcare Settings (SNAQCS),” which the USDA announced Friday. The public will have 60 days to comment.

Since when can the wife of the president order, mandate, pass law , or anything else except be a hostess ? This outlaw administration (to include congress, and all petty officialdoms) are going too far. But I guess the “head in the sand” sheeple want it that way. “Just give me sports and beer and you can have my country.”

IMPEACH,
CONVICT,
EXECUTE!
…repeat until clean.

There is no other legitimate response to the tyrannical abuses flowing daily from the District of Criminals.

“Voting”, petitioning, protesting, and other impotent “efforts” are exactly that -- IMPOTENT acts which do nothing but [temporarily] satiate the frustration of the weak-willed and the ignorant.

WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
…let us render unto them exactly what they have planned to render unto us.
