the right wing defense of obesity, unhealthy eating and lack of exercise

Of course everyone has choice, but attacking people who want to get kids started off with fewer disadvantages is a over the top.

Except for the poor adults have some choice about what they eat.  Some adults have legitimate weight and exercise issues but one expects a distribution.  If you have ever watched a tea party rally you see a mean body mass index that is shifted far from average.  Seeing them argue kids should not exercise and should not be given quality food in school lunch programs is disturbing.  You expect that from Fox commentators, but Romney and other politicians are destroying their credibility.
