It’s ok to make your children obese, but do it to a potbelly pig, and…
So a woman in Minnesota fell ill, and had a friend take care of her pet pig… um, for those of you who aren’t aware… there are whole sects of the population who consider pigs a pet (and for you self-righteous northeasterners, alot of these people live in NY and PA, so chill out).
While in the care of the friend, the pig’s weight tripled. Now the woman had left the pig with the friend for 9 months. You’d think she’d feel lucky she got the thing back in one piece, rather than in a series of freezer bags. She wasn’t feeling it.
She called the law. And now the friend is up on criminal charges.
What a great value system we have… Make a pig fat, get a criminal charge. Make a child fat, no problem… after all, it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of TV and video games and McDonald’s and the evil corporations who conspire to keep your children fat and slow.
In a time when child obesity is at record levels, the time is right for a stand. When someone takes one, I’ll let you know.
