And implementing mandatory 1hr workout time at all businesses?

We could sustain a whole country with just the food we throw away on a daily basis.
We sure are a bunch of fatties.

Whatever happened to free will? Our government is, piece by piece, taking away our right to think for ourselves. Have we gotten so lazy that they must implement a law to tell American citizens what to eat? What next, make a mandate on when we must sleep, breathe, etc...? I'm a grown up now and I don't need "Big Brother" to tell me what to do. I think it's irresponsible of the US government to find some other way to waste our tax dollars on something that is preventable with discipline and self-control.

I would be absolutely opposed to such a plan..
No government, and especially not the Federal government, should have the authority to tell us what we can eat or when we must excercise. What I put into my body is MY business...it affects no one else, so the government should not be able to restrict my liberty by telling me what I can or can not eat.
The same goes for excercise. Forced excercise is slavery...making someone do work against their will. Even if a mandatory diet and excercise would make America healthier, I would still be against it.

I think that the new plan would be terrible! Yeah, it would be nice to have everyone healthy, but unless the government wants to buy our food for us, how about we eat what we want to eat! Boy our country isn't so free anymore-first free speech, and now what we eat!! What a bunch of crap! We are in charge of our own bodies-if we want to eat, thats our choice-the government has bigger issues they need to worry about. How about they try to keep our large country safe-sound good?

There'd be instant work fatigue claims filed by lazy workers unable to keep up. Probably the most highly paid of the workers, the higher the lazier.

A diet and exercise plan for kids in school is fine by me. But it stops right there.

That would be unconstitutional. The government cannot legally force people to eat a certain way, or force them to exercise.
