Third fattest country in the world is.....

[pomtzu]

Well I think most parents are too busy with work & all to pay attention.. Also parents would rather hear a quite child than have to hear a child fussen of wanting their way with food & ect.. Also some children have medical problems..

Letting children have their way with food, is nothing more than a form of child abuse. Have you ever seen some of these fat kids on afternoon talk shows, like Maury or Oprah? And I mean little 3 or 5 year olds weighing close to, or over 100 lbs. And why - because the parents can't control them and feed them whatever they want, just to avoid a tantrum. Oh please!!! - if you have no more control over your child than to give them whatever they want, and whenever they want it, then you shouldn't be a parent to start with. Simply put - they are killing their own kids. If they even live long enough, they will develop mega health problems such as diabetes, heart problems, breathing problems, and of course, don't forget the ridicule and torment they will be subject to by their peers. Some of these kids can barely walk they are so huge, let alone go outside to play or ride a bike, or do other things that kids do. There's just no excuse for parents killing their kids with food, and taking away any sense of normalcy in their lives.

I so Agree.. Also have you seen some of the parents of these children.. They are huge & also was prob raised to eat whatever just like they are letting their children do.. I used to be a kindergarden teachers aid years ago & would see kindergarden children come at 100 pounds already.. It was shocking..
