The claim by a fitness guru that childhood obesity is akin to childhood abuse has been denounced as “inflammatory” by an RSCI doctor who specialises in helping children lose weight.
“So where we have a society that promotes intake of ultra processed food, we have no restrictions over digital marketing, advertising of these very unhealthy products, we have a societal responsibility for that. “But for Mr Mitchell he conflates the behaviour of smoking and alcohol to having obesity - which is a health condition and it’s not a behaviour in itself.In 2019, an estimated one in five Irish five-year-olds were considered overweight or obese and children from lower income families were disproportionately affected.
worse still parents are getting their children vaccinated
Well it isn't child abuse so move on
If your child is obese, the only person to blame is the parents who purchase and provide the food! It is the leading cause of diabetes and heart conditions and yes it is abuse
A parent is responsible for what a child puts in their body. If a child is malnourished and neglected TUSLA will be called and abuse may be established. I fail to see how child obesity is any different. Snowflakes just don't like taking personal responsibility.
