[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand these posters who are not listening to people who have a thin child and a husky child who are fed the same and are equally active; especially the ones who think the answer is to give even less nutrition to the husky child as if food intake is the problem. Read up people; your luck in life is not all to your merit. [/quote]

Husky is not necessarily obese - but it could be.  Parents have gotten the message that they must feed their children without limit.  Ellen Satter says so.  If it's healthy, then a third serving is fine, amirite?[/quote]

No. I'm saying kids are husky even when they are just having the correct proportioned healthy meals, and no seconds, thirds, and desserts. If people keep denying this, we will never get to the core of what is happening here.[/quote]

JFC.  If a kid is obese (or whatever adorable euphemism you want to use instead) then that kid is NOT being served “correct proportioned healthy meals” - even if the exact same meal IS the “correct proportioned healthy meal” for obese kid’s sibling.  They are DIFFERENT PEOPLE.  Why are so many of you having such a difficult time with this?  Do you also find it confusing that the typical wife can’t eat the same amount of food as the typical husband without getting fat?[/quote]

Why are you having such a difficult time understanding that serving one child standard portions while serving their sibling a fraction of the same things might not be feasible?[/quote]

It’s not just infeasible, it’s against current research and creates unhealthy eating patterns.[/quote]
