For the most part you are right, but I remember the Rhino family who kept giving their kids 2 liter bottles of cola when they were thirsty along with a vast supply of pigs in a blanket and other such cr@p.

At the point the 5 year old girl was looking 9 months pregnant and nearing a couple of hundred pounds children's services stepped in as they should.

You fatten your kids up when little like that and they get no live where they will ever have a memory of being able to breath or run.

I'm afraid some parents are so stupid they force others into their lives to save the kids.

The five year old had heart issues with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
The other two older ones were even worse.

I get your point, but there are some remarkable levels of stupid out there that sometimes are forced to step in.

Agree that moderation is good, but raising someone else’s kid is not your or my problem. We are inundated with information about healthy lifestyles and majority of caring parents do try to show their kids the right path. Education is there... You can’t fix stupid with some people. I abhor the thought of any public entity entering into parenting a child...CPS in many states is a complete failure and creating an anti family oppressive regime.
There is always some busybody who thinks they can force you to live the way they believe, this is exactly that.
