Daggers Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 Obesity has been a factor in at least 20 child protection cases in the last year, the BBC has learned.Some doctors now believe in extreme cases overfeeding a young child should be seen as a form of abuse or neglect. Puberty before 10 years old, 30% of pediatricians say they have Under-1's that are technically obese, adult onset diabetes, inability to exercise, kids with high blood pressure... Personally, I think the parents of obese kids should be punished. I'm listening to people phoning into 5Live and saying "...but parents need supporting" and "...we need to improve education programs" Come on! How thick do you have to be to put your kid through years of hell, (if not a lifetime)?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 Daggers, I love you more than a fat kid loves cake.
Wils Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I find it sad seeing really over weight young children. Alot does depend on the parents.
Katy Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 Thick as. Ignorance is not an excuse when you decide to bring someone into the world.
The Reverend Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 Of course its the parents fault. At the end of the day, they fed them. And if they are obese they eother dont feed them correctly, or feed them too much etc... in which case it is their fault. Theres no excuses for it.
davieG Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 The trouble is it's become so acceptable to be fat under the guise of not 'abusing' fat people, like most things in life it's swung too far the other way. Some of the fat adults I've seen recently would have been ashamed to show themselves in public when I were a kid, now fat is carried with a degree of pride c/w I'm just being my natural self, I'm happy being fat etc. It's therefore no surprise that the eventual outcome of this is fat children.
Katy Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I think I underfeed my nipper. She's always wanting food and is skinny as a rake - that or she has worms
Master Fox Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 Master Fox will love that picture! No, it's disgusting. Stupid horrible fat kids, get a job.
Suffolk_fox Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I agree that people with fat kids should be made responsible. It is just bad parenting, simple as. Both myself and the Mrs are a bit over weight, but my kids are both slim - This is achieved by: Feeding them good food, with lots of variety (no processed stuff). Encouraging them to play outside alot. Bike rides. No tv in their room. In fact restricting the amount of TV they watch, period. Oh, and if the school wasn't so far away, they'd bloody walk to school too. It isn't bloody rocket science, it's common sense and takes a bit of effort. But that seems to be beyond alot of parents these days.

What are you on about man? Have you not read all of MP's/Fez's/TPH's posts mocking my man-curves? I think Mods should do something to Stop the Mockery
Daggers Posted 14 June 2007 Author Posted 14 June 2007 ...my kids are both slim - This is achieved by: I ban ours from beer during the week and only allow them one Margarita with their evening meal. I've also found that fags make an excellent appetite suppressant.

You should market this as the new fad diet. You'd make a boatload. Though what you'd do with a boat I don't really know.
Daggers Posted 14 June 2007 Author Posted 14 June 2007 You should market this as the new fad diet.You'd make a boatload. Though what you'd do with a boat I don't really know. I tried. I approached the BBC with my idea for "Cooking with Fags" but they said they were already making a similar series with Graham Norton.
Katy Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I tried.I approached the BBC with my idea for "Cooking with Fags" but they said they were already making a similar series with Graham Norton. That shouldn't be funny...but it is.
Lord Nibblington Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I tried.I approached the BBC with my idea for "Cooking with Fags" but they said they were already making a similar series with Graham Norton. Another cooking programme with a weird host? Just what I want to see on my Telly.
Zingari Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 I tried.I approached the BBC with my idea for "Cooking with Fags" but they said they were already making a similar series with Graham Norton. yes ;we should see more roasting on tv
Zingari Posted 14 June 2007 Posted 14 June 2007 "Oooh! I've burnt it to buggery!" what !!!the spotted dick
Daggers Posted 14 June 2007 Author Posted 14 June 2007 My favourite episode wot I rote involved stuffing a chicken and then rounding off with a good portion of spotted dick.
Daggers Posted 14 June 2007 Author Posted 14 June 2007 Damn it. I won't bother making any gags about 'nuts' then for fear of someone beating me to that as well
