Should parents of fat kids go to jail?

Should parents of fat kids go to jail?
just been to M&S, next to it is a drive through McD's.
as i come back to my car there is a family walking back to their car from burgerville.
Husband is 6ft and prob 25stone, hes the size of a rhino if yo need some scale.....really struggles to get in his car and when he does it squats down on his side like a cartoon!
Mrs is just very fat, prob the weight of a small pony.
kids are 9ish and 11ish. Boy is a fat *****, prob 15stone....face like a football. Girl, older, is grim, belly hangs from under her tshirt that has given up and covers the zipper on her jeans....big belly hang!
All the family have legs that look like those tree monsters from LOTR.
Anyway...off they drive (prob getting 5 mpg!)
so...q's:
assuming the parents have caused that to their kids is that not grounds for physical and mental assult? the impact on thier lives could be worse (physical and mental) than actual violence against them.........why dont social services step in?
and who are these ppl relatives? why do they not say "STOP KILLING YOUR KIDS YOU FAT SCUM"?
is anyone here growing fat kids? if so....dont you feel bad?
i am trully interested in the thoughts in someones head that lets them take their family of african animals to a burger joint!
its easy to critise so im hoping someone can explain!

They shouldn't go to prison, they should just take responsibility for their offspring and stop feeding them so much food!!!
4 x £4,000 worth of stomach banding operations in that family alone, and I for one am not happy about paying!

Some over weight people have a medical condition so not ALL parents should be blamed but those who can't be bothered to choose healthy foods/cook proper meals (i.e. give in to the easy option) should be held responsable-but how, thats the question.....

they must have been fat because of an hereditary problem cause they obvious exercise walking into maccy dees when theres a drive throu right there
and no I dont think they should be sent to prision, at what point do u draw the line and say this person HAS fat and this person IS fat, my sister is very short and Id say very over weight IMO, my parents always cooked proper meals me and my brother are of a very good athletic shape/size where as my sister isnt, do u think my parents should go to prison, ger a grip expected a more sensible post from you Mr T

At least one parent in the USA has been jailed for negligence (might have been child abuse) after a teenage girl became so fat that she was bedridden. When social services visited the house there were piles of fast food wrappers all around the girl in her bedroom so it was obvious the parent had carried on feeding her up even after she'd become bedridden.
She was taken into care and the parent was jailed.

This "medical condition" is, by and large, a myth. Certain hormonal/glandular problems such as an under-active thyroid can cause obesity, but this is very rare. Some blame low metabolism, but even if your metabolism was very low it still amounts to the same thing: ingesting more food than you are metabolising for energy, i.e. eating too much!!!

physics to the rescue (excepting those genuinly mediaclly inflicted):
food ingested > excercise level = putting on weight
food ingested < excercise level = losing weight
food ingested = excercise level = stable weight
inst it?

They should be sent to the abattoir where their slurried flab could be rendered into further meat products to be fed to other junk food addicts. Thus the circle of supply and demand would be complete.

the other way around it is PE at school is made longer and more physical if u know what I mean, theres so many pointless subjects at school that waste everybodys time, why teach half the school german and half french? why teach them Religious studies when 95% of the class dont pay any attention, get bored, doss about which also entices them to do it in the next more important maths lesson. so should we start looking at schooling contributing to todays society?

A few years ago I was on a train back from London. Across the isle has a woman and her fat child (about 12-13 years). After fishing off a buger he then starts tucking into his bag of Ready Salted crisps when he pipes up.." they just don't put enough salt in these do they"

Nimbus, I could quite happily eat a big burger then open a bag of crisps too, and I also think the ready salted crisps dont have much salt in them in half the bags u open Doesnt mean Im a fat bloater, any1 can do it just cause the kid was fat doesnt mean he was wrong

Davegtt,
I don't know what hight/size you are so I don't know wether you are a fat bloater or not
It's been proven that there's too much salt in pre-processed foods and snacks as it is. People should not be addng more... If you think there's not enough then you've been over doing it on the salt already...

well I dont really eat ready salted crisps anyhow unless we have nowt else in, come to think of it the last 3 or 4 months Ive not eaten any crisps or biscuits as Im cutting down to lose the belly before I do get fat, maybe the thing I should cut down on is beer but I aint giving that up

aye tiggs, agree, but if you have a rule of fat kids parents should go to jail, u need to have a line drawn somewhere, something for the people to know the boundaries etc...
