Three British children have been removed from their parents and have been taken into care because they are too fat and are threatened with obesity that causes heart disease, liver conditions, diabetes and respiratory problems. The British Medical Association considers allowing kids under 12 to get like this to be child abuse. There are one million obese children under 16 in the UK, and the forecast is that one in five boys and one in three girls will be obese by 2020.
Pure Epicureans (whatever they are!) would probably say “no business of mine”. Common sense says that these kids should be protected, and if the parents are too incompetent to do so then others should step in.
