Parents in the Crosshairs Again...

News Item: Two convicted for making pet dog obese

Consumer advocate Mike Adams says more cases like this should be brought against the parents of children, not just pets. "Isn't it interesting that the courts are ruling it's illegal to make your dog obese, but it's perfectly okay to make your children obese by feeding them junk foods and sugary drinks?"

Are we as a society really coming to this?

  1. Personally I think it's the job of pediatricians to evaluate weights and diets of children. How about pushing THEM to do some education???

    If you child is "too thin" they're all over you....but the overweight and even morbidly obese ones? nothing!
