...not in my family...

Sometimes the headlines are too visible to ignore. New York Times has at least two of them today...

Not in my family, or rather "only poor people beat their wives", got yet another counter evidence for that statement

It is still a tradgedy of course, I am still surprised about that violence when divorce comes up. It is clearly a reaction of control or rather the lack thereof, in my opinion anyway. Makes me a little hesitant at times, and yes especially now…

And the next note of how to fight that fat.

I am not entirely sure that a note with your BMI on it to give to your parents is the right way to go… but maybe actually reintroduce physical education (PE) every day at school. At this time I really doubt if we have to have ‘real’ PE including running and playing ball every day. Maybe an hour walk would give these kids a more healthy way of looking at life? I know it worked at my last job where we were allowed two hour long walks a week within our work hours… that was nice, especially during winter months when light is a scares commodity in northern Europe.

Ah well, back to work. Need to process that data and try to analyze it so I understand what it really means. I have tried for a good afternoon and it still looks strange…
