RIGHT?!? Why is there ice cream in the house, when there is a fat child in the house?, I have been through this personally, as a parent, with a child who got pudgy because I was careless about what I kept in the house and didn't set strong enough boundaries with my parents. It is SO easy to fix. If you do not buy trash food, children cannot eat trash food. The weight melts right off them, because their growing bodies are a veritable calorie torch. How could anybody who loved their kid not alter the contents of their shopping cart when they see their kid developing a gut?
