Did you properly read into this story? The kid had been with the mother for 8 years and was extremely unhealthy and getting worse. I mean he even missed most of his school life because of it. The poor kid could hardly fit his already oversized jeans on, how is that healthy or acceptable? People offered to help them and the mother just ignored them, so it was either the child services step in or the kid doesn't even live into adulthood.
Don't call people ignorant when you're the one who's ignoring the facts.

You guys apparently don't care about moral.
The majority has completely forgot to focus on their own hearts. You guys have forgot to imagine how you would like to be treated in the same situation.
Nor do you care about humanity's future and destiny.

Instead you are sitting there and pointing at the mother; "Yeah! take away the child.. give it to her. it's HER fault! I bet it's causing less costs and it's more efficient to take her child away!"

Have you ever heard of genetics? Some people are just naturally fat. Everyone in my family is very active and usually eats right, yet all of us are still chubby. I would not call being obese abuse. At all. Sometimes it just can't be helped. Watching everything your kid eats and pushing her to exercise all the time seems more like abuse to me. I hope your kid doesn't develop an eating disorder when she grows up.

Will the western world ever recover?
McDonald's never advertised their food as low-cal or low-fat ... everyone who eats at a fast food joint is either well aware of how bad the food is for you or is incredibly stupid. Like anything else it's okay on ocassion but not for every day consumption. edited down

I wouldn't go as far as Prince Charlie to say MCDONALDS should be banned but I think they shouldn't be allowed to advertise anymore. I think after 30 odd years we all know McDonalds exist and where to find them and it wouldn't hurt them to not advertise but it would save a lot of kids of getting fat. You'd see kids getting healthier in a very shorter period of time if they banned ALL junk food advertising. Subliminal advertising works that's why they do it. It does affect children when they see an ad and it makes them want to eat junk food.
