This is a policy that seems always popular to political groups in power. I think they get the idea from Alice in Wonderland. It makes sense to me, given the extremely skewed logic at work. If you go through the looking glass a time or two then it makes perfect sense to combat an issue such as childhood obesity by cutting off funding to help those afflicted.

Quote:
"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Alice in Wonderland.
