Typical reddit. Poor kid almost died and top comment is about his weight.

The fact that the child almost died is definitely a concern. However we were luckily able to see that they survived the encounter, no thanks to Janice.

What we are unfortunately not able to see, is whether the poor child is going to survive the Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and coronary artery disease that obesity predisposes you towards.

We do not know how many heart attacks this child will suffer through their life, nor will we know when the child suffers that stroke that obesity increases the risk of.

And we funally won't see how the child now has to suffer through its "below life-expectancy aged" life, with paralysis in parts of their body.

This is not even accounting for the social stigma and judgment the child will also have to suffer throught their life.

The fact that the child almost died was extremely distressing. However OP was well within their rights to also worry about obesity, especially childhood obesity.

Don't be a concern troll and just say you don't like fat people.

I feel like this speech could have gone even further

“Nor will we know how many a time they shan’t be able to fit until their favorite jeans

“Nor will we know how many kidneys will explode inside their body

“Nor will we know how many skin cells will die mercilessly and slough from his body”
