This is the only conclusion, right? it's like having a fat dog. Sorry Mom and Dad, the blame rests solely with you; the child is learning how to live in their world and you are promoting a fat reality for their existence. The parents don't understand food and weight - and I assume will get fat as time passes (Fun fact - my parents did the same thing! Fat with no basic concept of changing their diet and being defensive when challenged - fuck'em! They can die of heart disease and cancer. I expect two funerals in the next decade as they smoke and are overweight with no exercise in decades! - We'll see what plays out! [I'm the executor, so hopefully it is easy!)
