According to the current HHS regime Lilly Grasso is fat. She is 5’5″ and 124lbs, and despite her rigorous participation in school athletics (volleyball) she needs to get with the program and lose weight. [the beast is pictured left]
Lilly is like millions of kids around the nation who is given an official federally approved USDA/USEDU school administered “fat test”, sponsored by the ‘now in control of your healthcare’ federal regime. Soon Lilly’s parents may face fines and penalties as part of the new possibilities within the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) for allowing their 11 year old to be beyond the acceptable variances for government defined health and weight.
Consistent refusal to take proper nutritional care of their daughter may also require the Department of Health and Human services to put Lilly into an approved foster care, or treatment environment, until her Obesity/Health risk can be controlled. [In a similar vein, an Amish family in Ohio is currently trailblazing new ground with federal courts ruling the parents must give their child to the care of the non-Amish community or be subject to arrest].

For several years the regime has been working prudently to replace school lunches with new federally mandated low calorie food options. Compliance has been difficult as some parents have been vocal opponents toward being told what they may or may not put in their child’s lunchbox.
As a consequence, and with the new enforcement mechanisms within the IRS, vis-a-vi Obamacare, the HHS can now evaluate a system of IRS levies against the non conformists who fail to comply. Any discovered and unauthorized lunch box contraband may now come with a parental IRS tax penalty.
In short, the systems are now in place to give government the option that very soon if you put the wrong caloric content in your son/daughters lunchbox you might just lose your house – the risk is yours. But they wouldn’t do that, right?

Lilly Grasso, all 5’5”, 124 pounds of her, is nowhere near overweight and is a healthy, active teenager.
But Naples (FL) Middle School sent a letter to her home warning of the dangers of obesity, according to her mother Kristen Grasso. […]
Part of a new strategy in combating childhood obesity, fat letters are the rage in many states – and are being credited for a major turnaround in the adolescent obesity numbers.
At least 20 states have started sending home letters addressed to parents of children deemed overweight and at risk of future health problems. Though an expert admitted parents do sometimes object, she said the letters are making a difference. (read more)
