    People have a very distorted view of what they should and shouldn't actually be eating. The food pyramid is completely wrong.

    People eat too much bread, their kids have bread in the morning, for lunch and then as snacks but of course the parents don't consider that to be a bad snack so along with the bready snacks they also have chocolate and crisps and cakes etc.

    I allow my child to have a treat every day, some people would say that I shouldn't give him one every day but I don't add sugar to any of his other food and he doesn't snack on worthless food like chocolate spread sandwiches or biscuits so I think it's fine.

    At that its usually white bread.. full of so many preservatives etc that it would survive a nuclear winter.

    Plus they use soy in a lot of foods these days. Its relatively new to the western diet as well. Could be a reason for little boys having boobs (did I just type that.... ) or a rotund chest area.

    In my opinion the main reason for much more obesity among children these days - and it is a really shocking epidemic - is that parents are too paranoid to allow their children out to play, to run in the playground, to walk or cycle to school like was the norm back in the 1980s when I was a child.

    McDonalds was around when I was a kid and so were crisps, chocolates, sweets and other junk food. But the big difference back then is that we were allowed to play outside. In fact, my mother was pleased to see us heading out to play and out of her hair.:pac::D Remember the words "It's a great day, so go play outside!"

    It's inactivity IMO that's the biggest factor in childhood obesity. Over in Holland where my sister lives, you see very, very few fat kids because children are still allowed to play outside with their friends and walk to school, as they should do. Also, the much better urban planning in Holland means that neighbourhoods are designed with children's play areas and safety in mind.

    You should stop looking at groups of kids, seriously.

    Also sexually objectifying 10 year old children and saying they have "tits" is perverse.

    Yeah, nice selective quoting there.

    Let me try some of your logic on you: Have you ever seen a baby? Yes? Well then maybe you stop stop staring tiny little innocent babies out of it with your gazing adult eyes. I bet you even have a penis concealed behind a piece of cloth while you stare, don't you? See - we can both apply stupid illogic motives to a simple every day scenario. Yeah - I saw a group of kids = I'm a paedo. :rolleyes:

    I was fat when I was a kid and it was a very sad and hard childhood. Guess how it started... I didnt like to eat too much before I went to creche (or pre-school?) but I did like to draw and some "smart" lady there was telling me if I eat more I will get more pencils...so I ate more and more and I started liking it too much and I strugle until now to control my weight...
    Do everything to dont let your kids become fat. It stays with you for life -this broken heart and self-esteem (after beeing costantly rejected and poited out)

    Well I don't go around looking at groups of kids and saying "look at the tits on those". Because that would make me a paedophile, innit.

    I don't have any kids, and if I did have and I caught anyone staring at them and commenting on their "tits" I'd rip his ****ing arms off and beat him to death with them.

    Exactly, oh it's always the white bread! No goodness in it whatsoever.

    You make a good point about the soy, there's also all the hormones injected into chicken etc.

    We eat a lot of chicken in this house and unfortunately I can't afford organic stuff so have to buy it from the butchers where obviously there is a lot of undesirable ingredients in it.

    That's why I like to be strict about the added sugar and stuff like bread because I don't want my kids bodies bombarded with crap from every food they eat.

    Apparently "gaining" is becoming a popular fetish. Some people like men with nice round beer guts. There are even a few websites dedicated to "weight gain" as opposed to "weight loss". IMO, it's not good to be too skinny or too fat. The media like to popularise the notion of being very slim and muscular, which puts pressure on young people too.

    :rolleyes: Right - so when you see a group of kids, and half the BOYS have titties, you don't even notice? Not very preceptive, are you?
    I'd rip his ****ing arms off and beat him to death with them.
    If I called your fat kid a "little fattie", and you tried you rip my arm off, I just wouldn't let you, and I'd beat you up instead. Then your fat kid would be crying his syrup-enriched tears as he lays by your side (arse crack probably hanging out, and he'd probably topple over from bad balance when on his hunkers).
    So yeah - probably best to let me just say my piece & move on.

    It saddens me when I hear people saying that healthy eating is a lot more expensive that the processed foods you can get. That's simply not true. You can go to your local fruit and veg shop and get a mountain of food for less than 20 euro. Then buy some meat, rice/noodles/pasta etc and add some home ingredients and hey presto you have a good few days meals for the family!

    The reason why people buy processed food and easy-to-cook meals it that they are pushed for time, (possibly a little lazy), and definitely clueless as to how simple and quick it is to make many healthy meals. It's time we stopped dialing in fast food and picked up a cook book for f*ck sake. We'll have caught up and by-passed the Americans before we know it! :(

    I actually thought your post previous to this was just a joke

    a c'mon...... the 10 year old boys with big floppy tits and especially the sweathogs waddling along with ice-cream was a pretty entertaining way of putting it ...not to mention accurate.........not really sexual.....we've all seen these usually odious little barrels munching their way through life:D

    its down to parenting and way we live,its fine to say parents should cook and make dinner,but its often when parents both are at work*not back in the days when was more common for one parent to stay at home and live off the otherhalfs wage*,and both tired after days work it so seems easier to get an takeaway.

    Fat Kids like fat grownups have feelings too so we have to be mindful or ignorant if they obese,along with lack of disciple which most parents seem to give their little darlings the latest gadget to keep them quiet,another reason parents mostly *to annoyance of some of us* drive one kid to school instead of letting them walk*well its not safe with mindset in parents that there are pedos around who abduct children*.

    ...in saying that they only lost weight after their suicide but still.....

    If my kid was fat, and I was watching as he/she waddled around out of breath when trying to run 10m, I'd be so f*cking embarrassed.
    Sometimes I see them down the park with their Dad for an (clearly) irregular kick-around, and the kid waddles up to hoof the ball & then has to catch his breath - with big puffy red cheeks, etc. How can you be proud of that sort of lax parenting?! What way is that to set them up for life?

    Do you reckon the parents even realise they have tubby kids? Or are they in denial & think it's "puppy fat" or something. You just know there's a parent reading this topic who has a fat kid. Would love to know their excuses for it - likely something pathetic about "how hard it is"...

    It's a Nanny World out there. Kids can't be as free as they should be, and to make things worse parents have gotten lazy as sin.

    'Little Jimmy is crying oh let's give him chocolate that'll shut him up', over and over again. Apparently that's one thing parents know well, instead of actually trying to UNDERSTAND why their kid is upset. Then it snowballs from there. Once the kid knows crying or being a pest gets them food, nay, whatever they want, they continue the trend. Thus they are fat tubby balls of goo.

    I'm sick to shyte hearing 'Oh its the genes that's made little Jimmy that way'

    Parents believe the hysterical nonsense....No man can be trusted, all priests are paedos, all kids will beat up your kid.

    They keep their kids on a tight leash, drive them everywhere...realise they are depriving them of the wonderful experiences they had while growing up and know that the reason their kid only has 1 friend is because of their over-protectiveness.

    They feel guilty so they give them "treats" all the fcking time.

    Kid becomes a wobbler.

    That's how I see it.

    Yea man parents should loosen the leash a bit. Let them walk to school and stuff.

    I personally would prefer to have a skinny kid and it be abducted than to have to look at a fat one every day.

    I read so much talk of "little Johnny" on AH - yet I struggle to think of any parent who calls their kid Johnny, let alone prefixes that with "little"...

    Can't think of many fat kids either, or of parents who blame genes or whatever for any of the small few overweight kids.
