Should we be shaming obese children more?

Obese people are not obese by accident. Even if it is in their 'genetics' (b.s.) who put all that damn food in their mouth ? They are obese as a result of physical neglect and a result of their own actions.
The worst part about this all is that they try to blame someone/something when it is them all along.

I agree that there are some dissorders, but they do learn, or dont learn from their parents. I feed my dog the best nutrition, so if I had a kid same goes there...the best dog food :toofunny:

I think we should try to better educate parents and having PT back in school. Teach nutrition in home ec, etc.. Shaming people can lead to depression, which could lead to more eating, and possibly worse mental issues, or even suicide.

blame the parents in most cases, too lazy to cook proper meals so they just shove convienience foods down their kids throuts and then put them in front of tv and video games cause they can't be bothered putting in some meaningfull time with em, most don't stand a chance and in most cases fat kids have fat parents!!

Shame them? No.
Chuck a few rocks at them? Well... OK, no to that as well - but I did double clutch on that one.
Seriously, weight is and will continue to be a major issue, and obesity-related health costs will skyrocket. Of course, in this age of political correctness it will be a syndrome before long: since no one is called to have any personal responsibility.
Maybe health care costs should be rated based on a health index (like auto insurance being based on one's driving record). The situation will only change when it hits people in the wallet (assuming that the average abdominal role doesn't become so large by then that it renders wallets useless).

how about a fat tax on fast food & convienience food that is high in sugar and fat?
how about making gym and fitness club memberships tax deductable?

I'd say yes - to both.

not everyone is as strong willed as you are. I once thought that it was OK to do things like this, but later on saw that that is not always the answer. I think people should be stern and very serious when trying to get people to lose weight because laziness is what attributed to getting them overweight, but you do have to have some compassion with another human being.
Not saying you are not compassionate though...just wanted to throw that out there.

in a large migority of cases it is but there's always an odd exception to the rule from time to time
lets face the facts here guy and that's the $$$, getting people fat and keeping them fat is a multi billion dollar business period :aargh:
i personally never make fun of fat people esp kids but i'm not into the polictical correct BS that has invaded everypart of general life, obesity is costing the tax payer $$$$ while the corporate giants who get them this way are laughing hard and all the way to the bank, introduce a fat tax, tax the crap food, tax the corporations who live off the epidemic that is obesity and lets get cracking, it's not ok for the general masses to be fat, it's BS, they need to stop making excuses and turn off theor TV's and internet and get moving!!!

I have a fat co-worker and everyone makes fun of her because she is like 5'3" and 200lbs. She smells because those rolls of skin develop sweat in the summer and all that shlt up in there gets musty. Then you got that dead skin cells that builds up in dem rolls too. On top of that she has a medical disorder AND ALLOWED TO PHUCKING SLEEP AT WORK, cuz she says since she is so fat, that the fat weighs on her chest and makes it hard to breathe so that is why sometimes her sleep gets distrupted at night and that's why she never gets a good night sleep.

I really don't know what the problem is that is causing all these fat kids. Is it the parents, or the greedy society in general? We seem to be living in an ever increasing "I want it - I get it right now" society...my family never even had cable tv while I was growing up, yet kids these days expect that to be a minimal norm, plus video games, movies, etc.
Why do we seem to be in a time when we "NEED" to have BOTH parents away from the house working? Is it because females are happy doing this, or is it because we just "NEED" to buy more and more junk?
My mother was a stay at home mother while I was growing up. I was fed whole wheat sandwiches and raw veggies, etc. A generation or 2+ ago, the women stayed at home and the guys went to work. I'm not trying to make a comment on whether or not women should stay at home or work, but rather suggesting that when a parent stays at home, I'm guessing the kids get more proper meals. When both parents work - they just "don't have time" to make a meal, hence they ol' drive through...
Anyways, I was made fun of because I was so skinny as a kid. Many of them were fat kids too. Yeah, still emotional probs with that effect me. BUT - I worked damn hard and sacrificed a lot to achieve the body I have now. I do not want someone to all of a sudden take away all my hard work and just say "it's ok to be obese". Next thing you know, it's "ok" to quit your job and not pay the rent...cuz working is hard...just love me for my insides...
FATTIES!!

Actually it was the people who were best at storing calories, those with a tendency toward being fat and the ability to survive food shortages, that survived and reproduced. The reason there weren't many fat people until recently is because food was scarce and people had to bust their ass physically on a daily basis just to survive. Or in other words there wasn't much chance to get fat. Now there is much more leisure time, and cheap calorie dense food that's easily available, and therefore a ****load of fat people.
And you're likely not going to help a fat kid by just shaming him. What the **** is a kid going to do when he's shamed, go to the body recomp boards and learn about leptin and intermittent fasting? Not likely. He's going to reinforce bad habits, go huddle somewhere and eat, and likely not learn what he needs to learn and unlearn the **** he's learned thus far. You need to give them a positive route to follow, and within that context shame is a tool to use to get them on the right path.
I'm for personal responsibility to an extreme beyond most. But blaming a kid who has never been taught the right things is just plain idiocy. You're not born knowing proper nutrition and eating habits, just like you're not born knowing how to pilot a plane. It's something that's either learned or neglected. Blame the people who did the neglecting, help the kids who never learned.

This is a very serious and complicated problem. I'm a Physical Education teacher at the high school level and I'm appalled at the attitude of students, parents, and administrators in regards to health and fitness. People talk sh!t behind my back at work because I never eat the chips, donuts, soda, or milk that are given in every meeting and people look at me as if there's something wrong with me. I think a lot society in general accepts obesity. We don't do that here at AM because we see it from a different angle.
I always have parents writing BS notes for their kids so that they have a "reason" to abstain from physical activity. I also have kids fake injuries to avoid running a measly motherfvcking mile once a week which I've made a mandatory standard. These kids need better parents, it's often times the parents that need to be straightened out. There have also been instances where administrators have asked me not to have hard physical activities during testing weeks because kids can get exhausted.
People have to be educated properly too. You can't give someone BS scare tactics either, you gotta give these kids honest truths about health, fitness, and how they can do that. If you humiliate kids then you can seriously damage them emotionally.
I also think we have to do some things to change society. People have been told that they are beautiful no matter what. Guess what, fat is not only ugly but it's bad for you ! We have lowered our standards and our expectations to accommodate everyone and that's not a smart thing to do.
