I was also abused as a child

By no means does it make things easier for you

it's a point of contention for a lot of people but to me it sound like an argument for one's right to hurt their children. nobody is getting my permission

in fact abuse is a massive hindrance to development stages

you could make an argument a small slap is no big harm, certainly if a child is endagering themselves in traffic or something, but i otherwise won't put that in any one person's hands to decide, i dont trust them to hold back

I would argue it's because of bad parenting

people having kids without knowledge of how to raise them

Should research their parenting first

I mean i was actually thinking about this earlier on

Like an hour ago when i went for a walk

i'd agree my parents were not prepared for their children, or even each other

I was thinking about fat kids

and why parents give their kids unhealthy foods

fat kids are abused

their parents are neglectful

why would a caring parent give their children unhealthy foods on a daily basis

I see it all the time

you see fat parents giving their children unhealthy foods all the time

people lying to themselves are enabled by their family's adherence

and drinks high in sugar

I was also thinking about poverty

and the claim that fat families in the west are usually the poorest families

and there's a stong correlation between poverty and obesity

there is a lot of lowermiddle class morbidly obese people

its much harder to eat healthy when youre poor. so what. it takes effort to be in good health

yes but there's a strong correlation with poverty

which makes you think

the correlation is because of real obstacles

water is free

water is free if you trust your tap

yet they give their children sugar loaded drinks all the time

because they want one too

Well i think this is also part of a bigger picture

it related to many aspects of life

racial groups, sex groups, sexuality groups etc

we have a culture that doesnt want to take responsibility

which is funny because our grandparents generation was all about responsibility

there has been a massive generational change

its best to tackle issues in an isolated manner

i agree

why confuse something well-definable by including your other arguments
