Not to hide all the food...But not leaving things open for temptation...its cruel....A drawer full of crisps and biscuits is a bad idea...I have been to many kids parties and ended up with the dads in the kitchen drinking beer....so many Treat drawers about in peoples kitchens that are not policed!
I have been educating my kids fine...and its working fine...
I kind of agree with Easyrider. Yes, like nydryl says it isn't always the case however fat/unhealthy parents will continue this onto their children as it's the only way they know. They will feed their children yellow, stodgy food with little to no decent nutritional value. I think that is wrong.
We all know the importance of healthy eating/living/lifestyle. I have a pretty unhealthy lifestyle (I drink an awful lot and do minimal exercise - though my job is very active and physical) but I do eat healthily and I'm not overweight at all (though I am unfit). I was taught about healthy eating, a balanced diet and wasn't filled up with fast food, sweets and high sugar drinks. I was given these things as a treat, and taught to respect them. This doesn't seem to happen amongst many (but not the majority).
I'm aware of this probably a lot more than many others because I'm a home shopping driver and I see what people are buying and subsequently eating. And people in poorer neighbourhoods do eat, based on what I see, a lot worse than those in the richer areas. And it's not a cost issue, it's an educational one.
Semi-drunk, so excuse the disjointed reply.

Shouldn't you be supervising your child instead of drinking with the dads?
Double standards.

Why does it matter? You wouldn't call it child abuse if the kid was too thin. Or "too sheltered" and kept falling ill all the times because of overprotective parents errors? Or if the parents didn't vaccinate the kid, due to some idiocy they read in paper decades ago. Heck, you wouldn't even call it child abuse if the kid grew lazy and stupid in a house without books, or workshy in a house without work ethic. And that will also affect that person throughout all their existence, their future, their lifestyle... But oh my god, if the kid is fat, call the police straight away. Why? There are worse things people do to their kids every day than to let them overeat.
yea i found it

Quite. Teaching your child to have a healthy relationship with food is key, banning or hiding food only reinforces behaviour especially in later life which in turn can lead to obesity in adults, so could also be construed by Easyriders logic to be child abuse also.
OMG.....Easyrider is a child abuser!!!!
TBH most of the kids after that doc I saw on channel 4 Kids on the poverty line are not fat, Based in Glasgow.
They eat 4 times a week so in this instance the higher fat higher calorie foods in fact help them to survive...Most are stick thin and I cried when I watch it,
You're confusing a societal definition of child abuse with a criminal definition. Easyrider is pretty accurate, it is wrong to force a lifestyle on your child which is inherently unhealthy and which will likely cause them serious harm in the future.
I also think not vaccinating them is akin to this. And if the child was too thin? Of course that's abuse, and the authorities could and have stepped in before to solve this. Malnutrition isn't only a third World problem, it's alive and real in this country as well.
Allowing a child to overeat and not provide them with the means to live a healthy life is wrong. Simple.
As was mine, based on years of experience of alcohol abuse in the home, and the standards of parents who spend inordinate amounts of time drinking at home and in other peoples kitchens......
No I buy them quad bikes instead....and take them to sea world
Utter rubbish.
Unless you buy from supermarkets, in which case it is utter rubbish.
