Feds to Weigh Children in Daycare

Feds to Weigh Children in Daycare | Washington Free Beacon:
"Bureaucrats from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will weigh and measure children in daycare as part of a study mandated by First Lady Michelle Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.
The agency published a notice in the Federal Register on Friday proposing data collection on what meals are served in professional and home daycare facilities and how much physical activity children perform.
Aside from assessing how healthy the food in daycare is, the USDA will also check the weight and height of roughly 3,000 children.
 “Children will be asked to cooperate with study staff who will weigh and measure them for the Standing Height and Weight Form,” the notice said."
