Get in Shape or Get Fired

Overweight government employees, including teachers, lawmakers and judges would have 180 days to get WPTH or be terminated without benefits.

As the government continues to spew “dietary guidelines” and reprimands for tobacco use for us common folk, here’s a suggestion: Let’s make it mandatory that ALL government employees — local, state and federal — have 180 days to 1) get their weight proportional to height, and 2) cease tobacco use. Any government failing to meet federal weight/height recommendations or fail tobacco use tests after 180 days will be terminated immediately and lose all benefits except for those benefits to which the individuals have personally contributed.

Fantasy, for certain. But WE the citizens pay the salary, health insurance and other benefits for these people, the folks that legislate, educate and determine the validity of laws that control our foods.

Sorry, Governor Chris Christie, you’re out.
