I agree that trying to say being unhealthily overweight is healthy is just denying reality. I don't think anyone should be mocked or offered unsolicited "advice" no matter what their weight though.
I agree with this - We have to keep in mind that adolescents and teens frequently eat at school for lunch and may use their parents' money to eat unhealthy food, so it's not always the parents' fault, but letting your child get morbidly obese without doing anything about it is just horrible, kinda like allowing your pets to get fat and obese - My dog doesn't eat much, I always leave food for her but she eats when she needs to and doesn't get fat, but I had dogs who would eat as much food as you put on the plate and never stop so people need to control things.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
