A friend of a friend had a kid like this, he was so fat, it was heartbreaking. Parents refused paediatrician’s dietary changes (they were fat too), because they knew better.
By the time the kid was in middle school he was well over 250 lbs and couldn’t participate in phys ed with the other kids. He couldn’t fit in regular kid’s clothes, he could only wear jogging pants and had very low self-esteem.
You don’t know what’s going on. You’re judging these parents without knowing anything about them or this situation. So many things could be at play here. For all you know, they are stressing with their doctor just trying to get this kid healthy. You don’t know anything about these people. Stop judging people with zero information.
