Into The Mouths Of Babes
Way to go parents! Nothing like starting your children out at a total disadvantage and setting them up for a lifetime challenge of battle of the bulge. Yes, I'm the first to admit that toddlers are cute when they're a little chubby, with little dimples on their hands, that protruding toddler belly; but obese toddlers are not cute, it's just sad. They didn't do this to themselves, their parent's and/or guardians did.
My first entry today was about hospitals having to dip into their budgets to accommodate a rapid increase in obese patients, now makers of child safety seats are designing seats that accommodate obese children. Yes, standard size car seats are insufficient because some toddlers are too fat! Not just some toddlers, but enough of them that it has become necessary to build bigger seats. It infuriates me that parents (adults) have allowed the problem to get to this point. It is one thing for an adult to make poor choices that effect their own health. If they can live with obesity, then that is their right, but to make that choice for your children is borderline neglect. You're neglecting their nutritional needs! You're literally committing them to a lifetime of health related problems. You're clogging their arteries, making their little hearts work overtime... shame on you! Wagging my finger in your face...SHAME ON YOU!!!
A toddler cannot be held responsible for their nutritional choices. They eat what is provided. At the rate this problem is going, kids will be having heart attacks at 16 years old. The life expectancy age will decline rapidly if this epidemic continues...forget bird flu; gluttony is going to kill so many of us. To all the parents out there who've caused this problem for your children, keep this in mind: When the doctor diagnoses your child with type 2 diabetes, take a long look in the mirror...you did it, it is all your fault. You probably wouldn't dream of sticking a cigarette in your childs mouth, lighting it, and making sure they learn how to properly inhale, would you? What you're doing is just as dangerous and equally appalling.
