Is it Neglect?
If your kid has a Milk Allergy & you have him drink a glass of Milk every day, is that neglect.
Obesity is a really, really, really complex Medical Issue (one of the top 5 Chronic, DEADLY conditions of today).
The Equation is Simple:
Calories In < Calories Out, you lose weight.
It defining Calories In, Calories Out & even the < where the trick.
Every body is different in who it processes the food it takes in. A lot of money goes into legitimate studies every year to find out how different people process different foods.
This doesn't even touch things like allergies, Blood Pressure & other health issues.
But that vast majority of it can be summed up in a Study done along the border several years ago.
Of a Tribe of Indians (very similar genetic make-up) those living in the US were Chronically Obese. Those living in Mexico were pretty average.
Every day the vast majority of Americans make Poor Food Choices. And (the trick) is they make them on a constant basis over a long period of time.
A Mountain Dew a Weeks OK. 6 Mt Dew's a Day is the problem.
By & large Americans WANT to make poor choices, even when presented with an Alternative.
My wife has some pretty bad food allergies (corn being the biggie, it must be in 95% of procesed foods), so we really read labels & pay attention to what we buy & eat.
Most people don't. They want a Magic Pill that lets them stuff their face & sit on their rears. Watch TV for an hour, you'll see what I mean.
It takes work, but in can be done (in most cases, there are those whose obesity is more medical than anything).
Of, watch the Biggest Loser Series. Tubs of 300+ lbs of Lard who lose hundreds of lbs.
