http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/10/31/growing-role-obesity-in-child-custody-battles/I think that this is a very interesting question. In many ways, obese kids can blame their parents for everything. I remember as a 7 year old, I wanted McDonalds every day. I craved for it because it tasted so good. My parents never let me eat the food more then once a week, and I am glad they did that because I keep myself in shape now. These other parents that don't teach their kids about obesity, its almost like child abuse. You let them eat fast food all day without educating them and eventually its torture for them to live with it.
I have two kids aged 4 and 6, and they too love McDonalds, but I also limit their intake of fastfood, and I don't maintain a "clean your plate" policy because I don't want to force them to eat. I keep them up with vaccinations and I make sure they eat fruits, and teach them the three sports I loved to play as a kid (baseball, football and basketball) I think all parents should be like this to limit this obesity "epidemic". Also, George Bush was an idiot passing the "No Child Left Behind" act, because more and more schools are slashing phys. ed programs as well, along with the fake, frozen food they eat during lunch time.
Anyways, what is your take on this? I personally would support it.
