Please calm down...

I would never think of attempting to implement this plan, nor do I beleive in it. All I was saying is that it solves some problems

in a very soilent green sorta way

also, I have close friends, and even family members, who are overweight and considered obese. I have nothing against them.

a more peaceful version of your plan might be to have the obese americans swap places with the hungry africans for 1 year. The africans would have no license and therefore unable to drive a vehicle while in america, thus taking cars off the road. The obese people would have a chance to get in shape while on their african vacation. They might even build a McDonalds or something in the poor african town.

I was doing some thinking about this while sitting in the most boring training in which I have ever been.

There are way more overweight people in America than there are starving people in Africa I'm sure of it. I don't have any figures to back me up because I'm lazy, but I believe this to be true.

We will set a threshold first of all that anyone with 5% or more BMI over the limit for their sex/height/age/frame size will be sent to Africa as part of Operation Big African Makeover. The troop of overwieght people will henceforth be referred to as Bravo Force. Naturally, Bravo force will consist of almost a perfect sample of our population, with the exception of athletes, supermodels, dancers etc. Therefore, Bravo Force will have the resources and ability to set up a modernized community (being that a percentage of them wil be government officials, they will be able to procur funding.) While in Afirca, Bravo Force will be allowed privileges, amenities, and resources just as they would have in America with two exceptions. 1. They will only have enough food to fulfill their NECESSARY caloric intake. 2. They will not be allowed to operate any vehicles or other major contributors of Co2 that is not imperitive to the build up and improvement of the selected African countries. This means there will be more physical labor and walking. Mass transit will be provided daily for transit to and from work sites as well as nearby cities and marketplaces for food/supplies/entertainment etc. With a few more rules and regulation, in addition to some major planning, and the transferance of the military units in Iraq to Africa, I think they could have it done in five years.

Now onto the starving Africans: The members of Bravo Force will be allowed to remove any valuables from thier homes, which will then be relinquished to the temporary African visitors. under the same conditions as an everday lease or rental, except they will not have to pay in currency. The Africans will become city, state, and federal government temporary employees performing the recently vacated jobs, from the United States having deported all illegal immigrants, and in return, will receive all the food and drink they can consume, as well as, a roof over their head and free admittance to amusement parks, movie theatres etc. Similarly to Bravo Force, they will be provided with mass transportation of course at no cost.

Whoa -- way too long for my very short attention span. No way I'd ever get thr

Don't worry... You probably will be.

Nag, Nag, Nag....
