Long time lurker. Had to sign up just for this post. I showed this girl's picture to my husband when I saw the Yahoo "news" article. [ you know- all about being "brave" etc...] Asked him.  "How old do you think she is?"- He says " IDK, early 20s?".....This girl is THIRTEEN. 13..WTF......I know you guys don't permit sympathy, but I gotta say its hard to know HOW to feel when you see these ridiculously fat children.After the initial disgust, I feel a mixture of anger and pity. This girl's parents have ruined her. Sure, she is old enough now to start making some better choices, but imagine the habits that have been already been ingrained. I'm sure her irresponsible parents have been allowing her to eat total garbage for years. Then, of course, there's society with all their PC bullshit.Instead of all the sheep on social media telling her she's a fat pig and she'll be dead by 40-   they all tell her how "beautiful" she is- how " brave"..Like you, I just don't understand. We are literally killing our children by allowing obesity to be a norm.If her parents are fat fucks- [ pretty much certain]- you'd think they would want their child to be BETTER OFF than they are, not just as fat, sick & miserable. I have a son. My natural motherly impulse is to want him to be healthy, happy & successful. A big part of that is preparing healthy meals & teaching him about nutrition, calories, etc...It dumbfounds me how parents can look at their 250# kids and think its okay?
