I'm a liberal and I say yank'em off the couch, away from the TV, away from the computer, wrench the pie out of their mouths with the jaws of life, and whip'em around the block a few times.

Liberals tend to prefer healthier diets (not smoking, vegetarianism, ect), though we certainly aren't all like that.Conservatives would rather indulge themselves now at the expense of their health years in the future.Conservatives also support corporations which are responsible for Americans eating so much candy and fast food.

I am not sure about this but the liberals would probably say it is a disease and it is not their fault while a conservative would stop feeding their kids crap and make them work the flab off. For those people who blame big business because of people eating habbits it is the parents who raise their kids not the companies.

Most Conservatives are involved with their children which means they always make dinner, when I say make dinner, I mean something other than"Give me two happy meals with chocolate shakes, please"We really cook, therefore most of our children are not obese.
