To do that would mean she has to totally re-evaluate her world view and how she fucked that child up by raising him in the way she did. This is why fat people should not be allowed to reproduce until they lose and keep off weight and can prove that they have resolved their issues, and only then, with the supervision of the social services or medical staff, should they be allowed kids. I can tell you how this bitch pulled that kid up, having got people on my Dad's side of my family like this. Food would have been used as a reward and a treat and a way of showing praise and love. Did well as school? Have a take out as a treat. Big family event? Food of some kind. Always sugary and carby. I do think food addiction does exist, but I guess that's because I am a touch naïve and stupid - my reasoning is, how could someone intentionally do this to their body unless there is something profoundly wrong with them? And addiction is a fucking awful thing. However, it is something, no matter how appalling, which can, with support and ownership of one's problems, which can be overcome. It takes work and a lifelong change, but it is something people can get over if they really, truly want to. Something Jeremy Kyle addresses there, is how drugs aren't needed, but food is. The answer to that lies in things like therapy, and a removal of solid food for a long time, to be replaced with things like soylent or Huel with plenty of water and supplements. A breaking down of the idea that food is needed could be a start, because nowadays, we don't need it and there's ways around it. You take that one, sole source of pleasure they have, take it away, and replace it and tell them that's the tradeoff for a healthier life with a body that's not entirely shot to shit.  However, prevention is better than cure, so stop obeasts breeding.
