Why not the same concern over fat kids?

So I noticed this article in the AZ Republic about the “not so wild” burros in a tourist area getting fat from being overfed the same crap that the tourist eat.  I do think it is a good idea to be concerned about these animals; however, let’s get 10243298423 times more concerned about our obese society.  There are far too many fat kids who turn into fat adults that need our help.  Let’s put a tax on fast food and find a way to load fresh fruit into vending machines. 

No better option?

At the mall yesterday, I walked by the Cookie Diet kiosk (don’t get me started on the stupidity of a cookie diet) and noticed the completely useless kiosk clerk pulling fries out of a huge bag of food from McDonald’s.

Overweight Employee eats McD’s at Cookie Diet KioskFirst of all, if unemployment is so high, wouldn’t there be a high probability of hiring someone for your booth that looks like they might have actually followed a cookie diet… or any diet for that matter?  Then, would you not forbid that employee from eating a bag of fast food while they are at the kiosk?

Am I the only one that sees how absurd all of this is?
