Why don't we take childhood obesity much more seriously as a society?

Asked by Speranza (117points) May 3rd, 2009

I was reading a question about paedophiles, and was struck by the thought that we happily allow parents to feed their children to the point where their health is affected for life. Diabetes, arthritis, mental health problems… as I wrote elsewhere: Almost the whole world over, people are dying of hunger – but here in the West we die of food.

How did this become acceptable?
