Obesity is not contagious. It's not the plague. The only reason it's referred to as an "epidemic" is so people can get sympathy even though eating all the crap that caused them to be obese was clearly their fault. It just further demonstrates that people can't fathom taking responsibility for their own actions. For the most part obesity isn't some untreatable horrible disease as people like to make it sound. The cure is self-control in most cases.
There's enough of this "think of the children" crap when the majority of it could easily be solved by parents actually monitoring their children instead of relying on technology and things such as this. It's simple. All of these MySpace lawsuits and whatnot are complete bull, because every one of them could have been avoided if the parents actually paid attention to what their children were doing.
