With obesity on the rise and the recently approved welfare cuts, I think it prudent to propose a federal feral children initiative. Children in danger of becoming obese at a young age will be released into the wilds of our great nation and left to fend for themselves. Of course, they'll be radio tagged and collected before their capacity for languages dwindles into true mental retardation, and reintroduced to society at large. I realize that this is at best, a modest proposal, but I believe that at the present time, our political leaders might be open to this suggestion, or one like it. Seriously though, obesity really does need to be nipped in the bud.
