I posted earlier this week or last, about my disgust for fat kids nowadays.
Its an ever growing problem. Im sick of seeing fat children!
Its like an epidemic! I remember having like, one fat kid in class.
Now you have to search for the skinny kids!

It really pisses me off that the parents of these fat children dont do anything about it!
I work in a cafeteria and the kids get so excited about FOOD!
It grosses me out to see thier eyes light up at the sight of fucking food!
:jesse

what happened to getting excited about playing games outside?!!
NO, they just want to fucking eat!

I can sympathize with maybe a few overweight kids, but not an entire population of them!

First of all I find this very mean. But the truth hurts. America is the most overweight country in the world, mostly the kids. Now kids need to eat, but not obsessively . Parents need to understand that letting your kid eat whatever they want when they want can have serious consequences! Heart attack, stroke, obesity! All of these can hurt your kids. Now I am not saying that kids should be on a diet, not at all, but there is a line between eating and being greedy.

I dont find it mean at all Darrelle. Its a reality.
Kids dont eat to live, THEY LIVE TO EAT!
Its disgusting! I also blame the kids themselves.
If you are a teen and overweight, you know whats causing it.
You know better than to pig out and become even bigger.

Then these people sue fast food restaraunts! Its your own fault!

Also, how hard is it to be a ten year old boy with titties?
GROSS!
I see it daily! :jesse

I would force them to watch videos of starving children and give them an option to half their food intake and ship the rest to the starving ones!

Probably wouldn't work though!

Portion sizes need reducing, alot of people can't leave any food, they have to eat every little bit!

"First of all I find this very mean."

No what is mean are the parents letting children get obese.Not only the health issue but the emotional issue of being so big and being made fun of.

"Now I am not saying that kids should be on a diet"

But they should be on a diet that is well balanced,that and the fact that they sit playing video games ect.are why they are so big.

"Then these people sue fast food restaraunts! Its your own fault!"

Watch Supersize me you morons!!!!! :mad Duh,ya mean having two burges,large fries and a milkshake everyday will make me fat?Durrrr :huh

"Portion sizes need reducing"

This was just on the national news this past weekend.Some restaurants have started changing the plate size as well.If you have a huge plate then you will have huge portions.

Kennedy got the entire nation in a workout. But if people are happy the way they are, then who are we to tell them to change?

Australia has the same problemos
Overweight kids everywhere
Its so common that now the healthy weight kids look odd
Not in a bad way
Just cos its no longer common to see them !!!

Our government took out most junk foods from school canteens
In my state, not sure on the others

That helped ..... abit.

Its mainly up to the parents I reckon to nurture their kid n' what not
Cant blame the shops that sell all the junk

If the parents dont buy it for them
They cant get it huh !!! D'uh

Some parents I understand
But when I see some on tv sayin' things like

"Oooh I dont know what to do with my son/daughter anymore"

Yet they still feed him/her all the junk food under the sun

Yeah, tryin' really hard I see.

My youngest brother and sister are a healthy weight :)
They ask for junk food often
If we were to allow them each time they asked for it

Yah, they would be very overweight.

Its up to the parents !!!
Most of them I reckon, just try to pass on the responsibility .....
Excuses. Excuses.

Because soceity doesn't like it?! If that was the case then most of the things done and seen in this country wouldn't accepted. Hunter is right though. It is up to the parents to say "No" to the kids.

I find this trend of a sharp increase in childhood obesity appalling. I think it is disgusing and wrong! I think that parents are the majority to blame, but the food industry is also partly to blame.

kids are getting fatter and fatter cause the food conglomerates laden our food today with HUNDREDS of chemicals. Just about everything non organic we eat is barely real food, it is completely or almost completely synthetic. These chemicals are put in there to make food addicting, so that we eat more. So kids eat more too and demand more and more from their parents. The chemicals are also giving kids diabetes and cancer. The chemicals and hormones and antibotics put in our dairy products are making girls develop breasts and menstrate much much too early. Now most girls are starting to menstrate at 9 or 10, this is completely wrong! Girls shouldnt really be menstrating before age 12. Hell even only 30-40 years ago even getting your period at age 12 was hella early, the average was like 14.

But parents these days are lazy parents and neglectful. They are neglectful in the way in that they dont displine. Instead they pacify, enable and spoil. They dont want to deal with whining and temper tantrums and bad behavior, so they give their kids whatever the hell the kid wants, whether that is toys or food. They are also lazy when it comes to cooking. Quicker is better in our society so for the kids that means a lot more fast food meals than home cooked meals, or a lot of frozen microwaved meals and snacks. Lost of heavily processed snacks that dont spoil or go bad. Kids are given way too much soda and chemically and sugar laden juices to drink when what the parents should be giving them to drink is water, that is it. My kids wont be drinking anything except for water 80% of the time and the other 20% of the time they will be drinking 100% organic juice or organic milk.

And parents are also lazy in that they are too busy to monitor their kids activites and to also be engaging with their children and go out and do physical activities with them such as playing a sport, riding bikes, going swimming. Kids hardly play outside anymore. And that is cause the parents dont care, because neighborhoods are not as safe anymore and people dont know their neighbors anymore, and becaue parents spoil their kids so they buy them every video gaming system they want, the latest computer and computer games, every dvd imaginable so the kids do these things that are sedentary and bad for their health cause they are not burning calories and fat, they are doing nothing but giving themselves premature heart disease.

And the schools are bad too. the schools are filled with soda vending machines and all the junk a kid could want to eat they can buy for lunch in their cafeteria. It is disgusting. It is like no one cares at all about the kids' health. Not the schools, not the food industry. and not the parents.

the parents are the MOST responsible though. Cause they can choose to only buy healthy meals and snacks, organic foods, they can teach their kids at an early age about nutrition and excercise and to have pride in yourself and your health and taking care of their bodies. Every kid should be involved in some type of phyisical activity, whether that be dance class, karate, swimming lessons, or even riding their bikes on a regular basis. it is the parents responsibility to make sure that their kids are being phyiscially active.

I would even go so far as to say that parents should start be fined heavily for feeding their kids junk and making them fat and giving them degenerative diseases. And if they keep doing it after being fined, their kids should be taken away from them. I know that sounds extreme but it is a form of neglect if you ask me, neglecting your child's health and well being. They need to start making parents be accountable and if the parents wont be then they should not be allowed to have custody of their children. Their parenting rights should be taken away until they do better.

I totally agree with Michele. Its the parents fault for giving the shit them!
When we were kids, we had no choice. You eat what mum cooked or you went hungry!
Now parents cater to their children and buy them this garbage food which makes them fat.
I also blame the kids too, to some extent. They know snacks and crap are bad for you and make you fat, yet they continue to eat them!
You dont even know how fat kids piss me off. My best friend calls me up and when she senses Im in a bad mood she asks "its the fat kids, huh?"
Half the time she is right. Im SO FUCKING SICK of seeing fat kids!
i think I may change jobs. its ridiculous!
