Childhood obesity to the extreme.






Just saw this on TV this morning. 8 year old boy weighing over 200lbs gets taken away by social services in England to be put on a diet.

The parents claimed there was nothing they could do about it and their child had morbid obesity because he kept stealing snacks to feed his huge appetite.

Please, the parents had nothing to do with it

Like an 8 year old can go buy his own food.

His meal consisted of:

Breakfast- Chocolate sugared cereal

Snack- Processed meat spread onto a piece of bread

Lunch- Fast food, well duh

Dinner- Pizza, hamburgers, etc

Throughout the day, 4 bags of chips, and on TOP OF THAT biscuits to snack on every 20-25 minutes.



This is child abuse. Period. I'm glad they took the boy out of there.

Damn right that boy should be taken away. Talk about gross negligence There is no reason he should be that obese.

There are no excuses those parents could have come up with, and there were tons coming out of their mouths so it seemed
