Triggered by a fat family at the beach TL;DR: A fat at the beach proved that once again fats are horrendous parents. So I am completely new to voat, I'm excited to finally have made an account after frequenting FPH for so long and I apologize if I get any formatting wrong! I absolutely had to share this story. I know posting about fats being bad parents is kind of beating a dead horse, but I had never witnessed it to this extent until just a few days ago. My boyfriend and I were at the beach this weekend. There was a decent amount of humans, including an adorable fit couple and their son next to us. However, most of the beach was populated by landwhales. About halfway through the day, a fat dad and his four kids show up. The kids are about 13, 9, 6, and 3 (I'm terrible at estimating ages so I asked my boyfriend to confirm). All were overweight and the 3-year-old was obese. Unsurprisingly, they begin to eat IMMEDIATELY after they drop their things. I was preoccupied by a dog (not out of the ordinary- beautiful german shepherd named Nicky) and didn't pay much attention to what they pulled out of their cooler, however when I finally looked over the 6-year-old appeared to be eating yogurt with a plastic spoon. As soon as I lean over to tell my boyfriend that I was surprised the kid was eating a healthy snack, the 9-year-old pulls a chicken nugget out of nowhere and dips it in his brother's 'yogurt.' There are no words to describe my disgust, shitpeople. Because it was not yogurt. The kid was eating a Burger King dipping sauce from the container WITH A SPOON. A. SPOON. Just when I think it can't get any worse, the 3-year-old stands up to waddle down the beach to her mom, and peeking out from the Burger King wrapper in her fist is the remnants of a junior whopper. Confession time: fast food is definitely a guilty pleasure. It's pretty rare I have the caloric allowance to eat it, but hell if I don't love me a Wendy's chicken sandwich when I do. If I go to BK I get a junior whopper and when I can even finish it, I'm stuffed. This toddler downed that sucker without a problem I'm disgusted and angered by stories of fat parents I've read. Witnessing it was so different... so much sadder than I expected. It really made me appreciate the parents who raise their children healthily. More often than not a healthy young kid belongs to a healthy parent. I don't think it's a coincidence.
