I don't get why CPS can't do anything in cases like these.  If the child was being underfed then CPS and the media would jump all over it.  But over fed and not letting them lose the weight and no one does anything.  I get that starvation leads to death much sooner than obesity, but it still leads to death.  It's akin to handing a pack of cigarettes to a child and telling them that they're healthy.
