Honestly, this is the truly sad part of the article.  The daughter has been brainwashed, poisoned against basic tenets of health.  She'll grow with not just her fat mentally impairing her, but with a mother who taught her that BMI means "Bullshit Myth Indicator", a mother who taught her to put quotes around "good intentions" when people try to address serious weight issues. It's not like these children can hit 18 with a public school system that has taught them eating and cooking fundamentals, and unshackle their childhood fat and start fresh.  Millions of obese children leave school fat, unable to understand what to eat, let along how to eat or how to cook, and are physically and mentally handicapped for the rest of their lives thanks to shitty parenting.  I know people tend to think of it as hyperbole, but it truly is a form of child abuse, and one most of these children suffer from for the rest of their lives.
