That's quite an assumption you're making there. As it happens, when I was younger I had to have a strictly enforced diet (powdered milk still makes me feel quite sick, to this day) and regular checks from the doc for 2-3 years because of my weight. I wasn't even particularly eating a lot, or being inactive, at the time. Although they weren't the cause of the problem (which was something to do with the way my body was handling milk), eating more healthily and exercising more, unsuprisingly made me loose the weight.

To quote my brother, "You're still a big sod, but I'm constantly amazed that you didn't turn out to be a right fat knacker."

What do you reckon of that case with the 9 year old girl who is 14 stone. Do you reckon they're right to threaten to take her into care unless her parents do something about her weight?

I made my opinion known on that subject in the thread about it

In summary, no, it's not right that a child be forcibly removed from an environment, regardless of the reasons unless that is the only possible resolution to the issue.

Do you realise how many starving Polynesian cannibals that woman would feed?
