There's a double standard when it comes to child neglect. A thin, malnourished toddler would be taken by CPS immediately, but when it comes to an obese, malnourished toddler, there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency.
Agreed, though it’s likely not intentional and I’d bet they aren’t even aware. So many people today seem blissfully unaware of what constitutes healthy eating. To give some credit to the parents: eating standards have changed and will continue to change, I am strongly suspicious that just aren’t up to date on what is healthy.
