[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just bemused at the idea that DCUMs anti-fat psychopaths think they would be anything other than completely cruel to a child when talking about how awful their lunch is. I mean we all know how that conversation would go. The child would learn nothing except that some white busybody volunteer is a jerk.

There is literally no world in which any DCUM posters railing about lunchables would actually make a positive impact in a child. Frankly I think they should mostly be kept away from children in general given their DCUM behavior. [/quote]

You miss the point. First, only the article seemed to think lunchables were objectively unhealthy. They are the example here because the article made them so, not because people on DCUM decided lunchables were the greatest threat to children since gun violence. The one thing everyone who has chimed in agrees on is that it is not appropriate for a volunteer to be commenting on or criticizing a kid's lunch in front of that child. Literally no one has defended that practice.

What set some of the white people (and also some of us black people) off is the idea that [i]doing so would be racist [/i]because it would fail to take into consideration that the black mother who packed an unhealthy lunch and is making their kid fat and unhealthy is doing so because in the black community giving a kid shitty, unhealthy food and making them morbidly obese is a cultural thing. It isn't. It is a bullshit defense and uses white guilt and offensive racial stereotypes as a shield against bad parenting.[/quote]
