I’m guessing you’ve never been to a foodbank. Actually there IS plenty of choice in many food banks and the food is largely healthy. So what is your point ?

Point: Childhood obesity is a multi-faceted public health problem that requires intervention on many different levels. Stating on TV that parents should be jailed is unhelpful and simply spreads a misinformed stigma. To put it simply.
-
No, making your child obese is a form of child abuse and should be treated as such. There is no excuse for it.
-
Completely overly simplistic and unhelpful.
-
Unhelpful to whom? It might help the kids who are going to die 10 years early because doctors like you are too squeamish to tell their parents they’re killing them slowly with food?
-
Obesity is a complex health problem, issues around behaviours, relationship with food etc. It’s not about being squeamish- it’s about recognising the drivers behind the behaviours and solving the problem from the root with sensitivity and compassion.
-
Yes, we all know that. But what a parent puts into a child’s mouth isn’t about that. It’s just crappy, lazy, selfish parenting. They already know what they’re doing is wrong.
-
I’m not sure there’s much point in me telling you that you have no idea what some families face in their day to day lives. Good night.
