Should parents lose their child to CPS if they only feed their kid fast food?

[her209]

Let's say the parents are so lazy that they don't want to buy any real food that requires more than microwaving so they and their kids eat only microwavable food and/or eat out at fast food chain restaurants.

Because they are intaking all this sodium, sugar, fat, etc., the kid has a higher chance of having health problems like diabetes later on in life, should the parents lose their child?

 

[zanejohnson]

no.. hell no.

if that's the case the fast food should be stopped, and all the fast food commercials..

you cant expect people to be that smart.

 

[lxskllr]

Of course not.

 

[nageov3t]

only if the kid is medically diagnosed with malnutrition.

 

[mikeymikec]

no.. hell no.

I'm not sure what my opinion is on this topic, but you can't be serious in saying that because some parents are irresponsible that fast food should be banned?

- edit - I would probably agree with loki on this one.

Fast food has healthy choices as well. You can have less healthy choices than fast food from eating at home as well. While fast food does have plenty of unhealthy choices and are often stigmatized as such, it doesn't necessitate its stigma.

you guys assume people are smart enough to even understand that feeding there kid fast food is going to be unhealthy..

there are people in this country/world.. that ARE NOT that smart, they think food is food is food. period.

they dont understand calories, or sodium, why would they?? there's people that dont make it past the 5th grade.. shit there's people who don't ever even go to school!!!

how can they know it's bad if they can't even READ.

these are also the kind of people who do not make it into these fake ass "unemployment statistics"

people who worked under the table, or around the house in hillbillyville, texas... never drew unemployment, or drew it, and then got dropped from the program, and are not even considered in the stats anymore.. i've seen it with my own two eyes.. inbred hillbillys are real.. come to texas.. you'll see.

Point? It's not the government's job to protect people from themselves. It's also not their job to remove products people use knowledgeably because some haven't bothered to educate themselves.

 

[zanejohnson]

also, you people do realize that real unemployment numbers, are more like.. 30-40 percent.

They aren't. Some seem to give serious consideration to fast food bans, and you mentioned that, albeit off the cuff. That's what I was talking about.

you guys assume people are smart enough to even understand that punching a kid in the face is going to be unhealthy..

there are people in this country/world.. that ARE NOT that smart, they think physical contact is physical contact. period.

they dont understand hitting is different from touching, why would they?? there's people that dont make it past the 5th grade.. shit there's people who don't ever even go to school!!!

See how that argument doesn't work? Ignorance is no excuse for criminal behavior.

 

[Baked]

Yeah, but they also grow up faster and bigger!

no, what your doing is being elitist...

your smart, we get it.. dont punish people for not being as genetically/demographically advanced as you.

That's a good point. We shouldn't punish them, but a nation of fatties serves for a very delectable treat.

Breast or thigh?

The whole thing please.

lol cannibal jokes...

It's all fun and games until you're having grandma for dinner.

Unemployment only affects ugly, lazy, fat, and old people, in no particular order.

You are looking at it all wrong. It has nothing to do with feeding your kids fast food or beating them on the head with a feather. It has to do with money. For each child CPS or similar division takes in, they get federal and state funds for this child. Many states use independent agencies to house and feed these children. Then the state comes after both parents to pay child support. The states are in desperate low funds right now and need all the children they can get into the system. This is a multi multi-million dollar operation with parents virtually helpless to do anything. The state also tried to classify as many children as special needs and put them on as many drugs as possible. Special needs children get more money.

OP, I'd focus on yourself. You are no beauty of the human race.

 

[ViviTheMage]

no

Its not like foster care is this really great system with a surplus in placement resources or homes. So you're gonna take kids away because they might get fat and then place them into a home where they may be treated like a paycheck and perhaps even suffer real neglect or abuse?
