should parents of very fat children be jailed

Of course some people are simply prone to be heavier regardless of eating habits. Obesity has as much to do with metabolism as it does with eating and exercise. That said, parents should be better educated about nutritional and lifestyle matters. Also, schools play a big part. I think it's right that school meals should be healthier and junkfood should be removed. Of course I ate junkfood almost every day in school. But I ate very well at home. In cases where people's only good meal might be in school, it is especially important to make it a healthy one....

 

I think the food industry should stop adding sugar to all the meat - the add sugar water - really - to bulk the weight of the meat up they pump it full of sugared water - this makes a 1 kilo chicken into a 1.7 kilo chicken but also alters the fat constitutionally to make it more easily digested and less easily removed from the system - NO BULLSHIT !!!

also cattle are injected with steroids

and even beans have 2 tablespoons of sugar - they need to take the sugar content out of food - if you need it - add it later

 

pardon, did you say something, cant hear for all the crap, oh never mind, was probably diahorea

now thats paranoia kicking in

each to there own

 

The problem isn't chickens but biscuits and cakes, fat and sugar in big doses.

 

Actually I think metabolism has been shown to only play a small part in your tendency to gain weight. So yeah there are small genetic biases in metabolism and the way some may crave foods more than others, but that cannot account for the way some people become morbidly obese, and particularly for children who gain far too much weight far too quickly. A genetic bias may be to blame for causing you consistently to eat slightly over your requirements which over a long period may tend to make you become obese, but rapid intensive weight gain really does just come down to diet, and particularly to blame is the ubiquity of densely calorific foods.

 

Fat people are funny though.. when they're so fat you can roll them around and such..

Also prime example- don vito..

/discuss

Apologies for the randomness. just a random thought occured and i had to say it ;D

more on topic:

I think if the child gets early diabetes (from obescity) and such then the parents should be punished/educated.. diabetes before 12 can cut 25 years off your life.. ;/

 

dapablo you fat fuckin sweaty arsed freak just go fuckin sit on a tramps cock or do something so you dont keep feeling like you need to wind me up

 

tut tut language timothy, calm down child you'll only end up giving yourself ulcers or high blood pressure and there really is no need.

 

of all the people who post here in uk hip - I think you are the one who has nothing to say and says it !!!

When I imagine what you look like I imagine a bald geezer wth a bit of white hair over their ears, wearing brown slippers and smoking a pipe in a rickety old arm chair with a flea bitten mange infested dog at your feet

thats certainly about the content of your posts -

whoosh !!!! that was the rocket taking off !

 

I find it difficult to accept that we feel we have a right to impose our own sensibilities and beliefs on an issue where we are beginning to eradicate people's freedoms in their ability to express freedom of choice. I appreciate that we are debating children's health and the parent's role in their welfare, but are we saying fat is evil because reading between the lines that's what I'm hearing. I'm repeating myself again but if we are to begin a restrictive policy in health it needs to start with the food manufactures.

Ironically Ronnie Mcdonald nearly expressed a positive and interesting point on that very issue before it became a barrage of personal insults.

 

Aye MT far too much self importance and self righteousness being displayed, an easy trap to fall into and one I know I can be guilty of falling into myself on occaision.

Ronnie its perfectly alright to say nothing if thats all one has to offer (without the abuse maybe), again I don't care if I'm the slowest or the stupidist person on the planet. Stop behaving like a spoilt child and I'll stop treating you like one.

 

Absolutely.

 

well gee ya dont say ? we would never have guessed - haha
you and mellowgrime are obsessed with just having a dig at me but the truth is that you really seriously whack off every time you see one of my posts I bet you just wish you had my dynamism and huge balls!!!!

come back later girls when you have something to add to the discussion instead of just detracting from my posts because you arent sufficiently intelligent enough to see what I am saying

and I am not sufficientl;y unintelligent enough to bother any more with you two

 

no.
jail the children.
that'll teach 'em

 

I thought of this thread yesterday as I was watching "Equator" on National Geographic channel. I wouldnt' think that watching that program would make me think of this thread, but it did. See as the 'explorer' (can't remember his name) was nearing the end of his journey around the world on the equator he had learned of an indiginous tribe that was hidden deep in the rain forest in Brazil. The tribe is so reclusive that they haven't seen an outsider in something like 40 years (can't remember the precise number - but it's been a LONG time). There, midst all the tribal people was a woman and her roughly about 4 yr old son ... who, mind you would be considered as severly obese.

So. If they haven't had contact with modern culture in 40 years, what's to explain that? I mean, no McDonalds, no growth hormones, no TV or video games keeping the kids lazy. I have a hard time believing eating rice and whatever they hunt is going to make this little boy so chubby and that his mom would then be to blame.

Just makes ya wonder ... well, at least it made me wonder.

 

Calories in > calories out. That is the *only* way it is physically possible to gain weight...

3,500kcal = stored as 1lb weight of fat

 

I reckon obese kids who do no excercise should go to prison.The food is awful. They won't touch the stuff. Even Oliver Twist would turn his nose up at the overcooked mouldy potatoes with added 1985 mushroom

 

I still say there should be a cull every year and the proceeds sent to africa - infact it could be a national industry where fat kids are rounded up and sent to africa where they can be farmed and eaten to keep starvation down

Theres this really fat family who live opposite us and theyve had to have their front door widened so they can get out the house
