"Fat children have abusive and negligent parents who deserve to be burnt alive." Agreed. I hate my in laws with the burning passion of 1000 fiery suns because of what they have done to my sister in law. She was over 100 lbs at 7 and as a middle schooler she is now at least 250. They've convinced her that it's genetic and that her condishuns are insurmountable.  Fuck them. Mostly my mother in law but also my complacent ass enabler FIL. They're monsters hiding behind a facade of "niceness" and ignorance.  Before I had kids I had some sympathy and thought maybe I just didn't know what I was talking about but now I've got some of my own and I know that kids being fat is bullshit. You either have to be the laziest and dumbest parent on the planet or you have to make them fat on purpose. Either way, they don't deserve kids. Or life.
