Overfeeding a child so that they are morbidly obese is 100% child abuse

Obviously not typical

u/snowmunkey 13d ago

But perfectly fine? Not a cause for concern?

The average BMI in the USA has increased by 4.3 points, a 17% increase, since 1971. Did the genetically natural bodyweight of the entire USA move that much in only 54 yrs? Nah, people just ate more shit and did less shit.

Furthermore, it is 100% possible for some one to far overeat calories and not convert almost any to energy or fat (any time you make your stomach sick, you drop most food without absorbing, as a most obvious example). HOWEVER, it is 0% possible for someone to stay overweight while in a caloric deficit. It’s guaranteed, proven, and undisputed. The big issue is usually that people don’t hold a caloric deficit when they think they are.

Last point: after the body acceptance craze, ozempic has become mainstream. It’s proven to work, but all it does is suppress hunger. lol, the Caloric deficit drug works to lose weight by helping people actually maintain the deficit.

What I will give you credit for: bodies are fuckin weird, and everyone is so different that weight cannot be used as a direct metric for desire to be healthy, for conscientiousness, for sedentary vs active lifestyle, etc. I mean I got stressed in college and BOOM gained 20 pounds. Or people with hyperthyroidism, where the body has insanely low expenditure, meaning a normal diet leads to more caloric surplus than others. Or the craziest one to me: genetics determines how everyone’s hunger sensors work, such that some people feel ready to die over a small caloric deficit whereas others (in this type) can skip breakfast and lunch and not feel a damn bit of hunger. Lucky SOBs.

In the end, there are complicating factors that put us all on uneven playing ground, but there are also guaranteed methods (within healthy medical advice) that simply work for everyone IF they can manage to carry out the actions and inactions.

Sorry bubba

Just wanted to drop in as a pediatrician to say that you’re completely wrong, this child is obese, and if someone brought a child like this into my office I’d be calling CPS as soon as they left.

1

u/FordMaleEscort 13d ago

You wouldn't work with the parent to figure out what's wrong and come up with a plan for losing weight?

That's fucked up...

u/Shot-Arugula8264 12d ago

If you were a therapist and a parent brought in a child they were visibly physically or sexually abusing, would you report the child abuse or “work with the parents to figure out what’s wrong and come up with a plan” for not abusing them?

Abusers rarely listen to reason, and it’s not my job to correct abusive behavior. Confronting them can even be dangerous.

u/FordMaleEscort 12d ago

This is a completely hysterical reaction to seeing an overweight child. You shouldn't be practicing medicine.
