[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ok but with Rebecca being chastised by her Mom for eating (and the mom giving her just a sliver of pie) why isn't Rebecca fat? And, why is it Kate if Rebecca didn't make a big deal about snacking or pie or licking the spatula?

Previous episodes have shown Rebecca trying to control Kate's diet, which was both awful and realistic. I loved seeing Kate stand up for herself and her determination to break the food-policing cycle, and it made me cringe to see Toby acknowledge genetics and to say "People are horrible to fat kids, and the solution is not to get fat, despite genetics." Yeah, Toby, and the solution to depression is to buck up and look on the bright side.

Or, you know, you could be supportive of people and treat everyone as having value.

Really disliking Toby, maybe for the first time. [/quote]

Toby made serious lifestyle changes, focused on healthy diet and exercise, to lose a significant amount of weight. I think it's reasonable for him to suggest attention to diet and exercise would be beneficial for the kids, as someone who's been on both sides. Kate may have been dealt a worse genetic hand, but she doesn't seem particularly attentive to diet and exercise concerns.[/quote]
