We are as a nation getting bigger, there's no dressing it up really. I get around 3 pizza leaflets a day through the door, It's always annoyed me that in cafes the only kids option is battered offal.
If you feed your kid rubbish then yes I say you're not doing them any favours and are setting them up for a lifetime of medical problems.

he puts away enough for two. At 15 I'm sure it will sort itself out, he is never ill and plays loads of sports so.

glad to see youre defending lazy parenting instead of defending the health of the kids. social services should step in more. |

Depends on the age of the kid IMO, along with medical reasons and such (though I suspect there are less people who have medical problems that some would like to make out..a hell of a lot of overweight people say 'thyroid problems' and such, while sat eating a cream cake)
Once they hit teen years, its a lot harder to regulate what they eat. But I cant help but judge when I see someone out with a couple of preschool kids who are like 10 stone.

the OP never mentioned diet, he only mentioned fat kids and whether their parents abused them, you have decided to take to thread off topic and focus on those parents who only feed their kids junk, not my problem if you can't see the bigger picture.

Having said that though, we give Skye muffins and stuff on occasion, and she loves her quavers, so she does eat crap sometimes. I personally dont think junk food matters too much aslong as its not constant, and their main source of nutrition.

I was a chubby kid, but my brother and sister were like beanpoles despite eating the same as me. I dont really understand it, I do think I got my dads genes (hes quite big) and they got my mums. I think some people are just designed to be bigger no matter what tbh... It depends how 'fat' we are talking really. Chubby isnt a problem IMO...but massive is.

Possibly. It just stand out a lot if you see kids that look like they weight more than their parents do. Maybe the kids arent actually as big as they look next to their super thin parents

Infact I think I made a thread on here once about how schools are classing kids as overweight when they are fine. Gimme 2 secs Edit - http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...light=children Though in the past year, my experience of much larger children has changed. That may be because I started going out round here instead of in gateshead though

yeah they say people always blame the parents but they are to blame . once they get to teens then its up tot he kid and the upbringing to do the rest
i lost count of how many fat families i would see once coming into my stall eating burgers with their fat obese kids. all scoffing like animals. kids looking older than they should. shame as the parents are obese and the poor kids are because of them.

BIGGER picture nice pun. the bottom line is the kids health comes first. lazy parents who feed their kids garbage which turns their kids unhealthy need to be reigned in and held accountable.

Depends on the age of the child. Young children, yes, it's probably a parenting issue. Past the age of about 8 or 9 then not necessarily. It could still be that, but by that age, kids have a lot more freedom and frankly a parent who is watching their child like a hawk and controlling their every move / everything they eat is a far "worse" sort of parent, and is going to raise a far "worse" / maladjusted adult. There's only so much control that a parent has or SHOULD have over their children, and food issues are an absolute minefield. If you get it "wrong" when tackling them, you could end up triggering a life long eating disorder.
That said, a parent who can see that their child is overweight and isn't taking steps to find out why, and to help them to tackle it is definitely a "bad" parent, or at least, is making bad parenting choices in that specific area. Because a fat child is definitely not a happy child. There's something that needs to be addressed. |
