Some food (teehee) for thought If starving your children is seen as child abuse, then how come overfeeding your children is seen as fine? In America alone, two thirds of the population are overweight, and of that, one third is classified as obese. There are countless studies that prove that obesity is bad for your health, but it's more prominent than ever. A quick Google search will tell you that obesity kills 3x as many people than malnutrition does. And it's not just adultso grouped into this category, it's CHILDREN. Little CHILDREN who had their lives cut short because their parents just couldn't properly feed and take care of them because it's such a chore. So why is this okay? Why isn't this considered abuse? Because that is exactly what it is. Abuse. *end of rant
