There are two children I personally know of that are neglected and suffer some degree of child abuse. They both come from seriously broken homes where at least one parent is a heroin addict. Both are girls, one 4 and one 7. The four year has been raised on junk food and wants to eat every second. The kid will even eat the disgusting jelly beans from the beanboozled game and likes them. The seven year old was having a snack with my five year old and kept asking if she could have it since the kid wasn't eating it right away. She is very jealous of what others have and will either try to steal it or lie and say it was given to her by the 5 year old. The four year old is not yet obese, but the seven year old is the size of a beach ball. Her family says "oh well, everyone in our family is overweight, isn't she cute?". I'm not sure basic nutrition intervention would help with some situations.

I babysat for a friends kid who took Ritilin. The pantry was stuffed with candy & processed crap which leads to ADD

Agreed. Normally I'd be against wasting taxpayer money on someone's eating addiction, but that intervention would probably save a lot in the long run.

Yes! My folks put me in running, tennis & ballet for good measure because kids eat crap when you're not looking

It's old enough now to know better but at 16 it's still young enough that I blame the parents. It's child abuse to allow this to happen.

That's cool and all, but there had better be actual weight loss and not just talk over the next couple of years. Fatties who talk big about losing it are a dime a dozen. You don't get points for being aware that HAES is stupid. That is what we used to call common sense.

I was thinking that too. You’ve acknowledged the problem but what the fuck are you gonna do about it.

Fat hog is rightly disgusted by herself

It takes extraordinary gluttony to be over 300+ lbs at age 16. That is so young that she had to be outeating her growth spurts as she was going through them.

Her parents are probably all approaching 400 pounds and probably insisted on two or three helpings of food. Hams don't understand that kids don't need the same amount of food as an adult, and especially not the same amount as a ham.

The obesity would also be fucking up her hormones in rather crucial years.

Sometimes I wonder if it's a shitlord pretending to be fat so they can yell at the obeasts without their posts immediately setting off a shitstorm from the mods or the Crisco vacuums. It seems like a good plan. Make them feel even worse about themselves because then they can't try to delude themselves with their mental gymnastics into thinking it's fatphobia and the opinion is without merit.

They still will use mental gymnastics though, they'll just say it's internalized fatphobia. There's a point where they can't be reasoned with.

The post just under that one states that stable-weight adults need to eat between 2500 and 3500 calories, otherwise it's starvation. Um, what? I'm barely 5'4, if I ate that much I'd be 300lbs...

And here I thought I was disgusting when I was 10 lbs overweight at 15.
