I saw this on my own local news site, and the same thing happened, two ugly sides of a stupid argument.
I couldn't believe how many people actually thought the book was a good idea and thought it was needed to properly deal with childhood obesity.
Since when is it the childs responsibility for being fat and having to change it?
Of course there are those kids that are naturally larger than others, like all people, but a lot of this obesity crisis is due to the society that has been created.
People live such busy lives that fast food ends up the best option in terms of time and cost, which is fine when its one person making that choice, but when a child is forced into that lifestyle with the rest of their family, they shouldn't be the ones forced to suffer and deal with the consequences.
Society is screwed...
