Fat Parents with Fat Kids = Child Abuse?

What is it with bashing people lately, if it isn't religious people, it is coloured people, if it isnt coloured people, it is foreign people, if it isn't foreign people, it is Scottish people and now we start on at fat people.......

People should worry more about their own shortcomings and attitudes and less about others in my opinion.

I was well overweight when I was younger and was encouraged to play lots of sports - football, golf, tennis and so on. A combination of eating too much (my own choice).

So they didn't stop you feeding your face in the house after your tea?

How did you choose to over eat?

What about the religious black scottish immigrants with weight problems? That would be like Christmas day for us :p
 
I always find the youngest child to be the fatest. I know a family where the two eldest children are in their 20's now and are a healthy weight, yet the youngest one in his teens is very fat just like the parents. Youngest children tend to get away with more and are spoilt!

I can get veg from the market and potatoes for cheaper than oven chips burgers and beans from the local supermarket.

Poverty argument is BS imo...

When I was a student I hate like a king for nothing. Stir frys and the like cost peanuts.

That argument doesn't really stand because each child at one time would have been the youngest, therefore would have been spoilt (by your logic).
 
Easyrider, you realise that alcohol abuse is a drain on my taxes, overloads the NHS, and is one of the biggest drivers of domestic abuse in the UK?.......;)

Just something to think about as you down your next drink!!! :p

My parents hid the treats like crisps and sweets...They never bought crisps and fizzy drinks day to day...we had family fridays with Coke, ice cream and crisps and TV and munched then as a family.

Who buys the food? The parents...If they buy the crap in and leave it in places that are open and available then its child abuse.

We had crisps and biscuits but never fizzy drinks. That's irrelevant though. As a family we ate healthily but I'd go back and eat more. The answer is most definitely not for parents to hide all the food in the house.

Just educate the child about food and in time if they want to be healthy then they will be.
 
I propose we classify anything that disadvantages a child as child abuse. so that Includes bring poor, being only of average intelligence or less, living in the wrong school catchment, claiming benefits, being ideologically opposed to grammar schools, the list is endless.

or did I miss the point that this is about prejudice rather than the children?

I'm sure you have hated your whole life. But there is an arguement and proof where in some poor inner city areas it is cheaper to buy unhealthy food. Two examples off the top of my head are areas of Glasgow and Argentina. Glasgow has some of the lowest life expectancy in Europe and high poverty. Fruit and veg is often very expensive. Argentina's poor buy cheap cuts of meat that are high in fat. It is cheaper to buy fizzy juice over water. A high proportion of their food is fried. Good cuts of meat are for the wealthy.
