[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's weird how much energy you are putting into judging children's bodies. [/quote]

It’s not about an individual child, it’s evidence of a societal problem.  [/quote]

Agreed. I’ve noticed tons of huge toddlers/babies recently because thats the age of kids I’m around the most with all my nieces/nephews. One of my nieces is clearly overweight and she’s only 2.5.

my SIL has to get special shoes for her because her feet are so chubby. On our vacation last year the 1.5 year old (at the time) ate FOUR CROISSANTS from costco in the car on the roadtrip (why her parents would allow that, idk). I was pregnant so I was paying attention to calories at the time and those have 400-600 calories each. That’s enough calories for a full grown adult man for an entire day and she ate more that day too. It’s crazy to me because SIL and BIL are both fairly tall and thin. The 2.5
yo weighs quite a bit more than my 3.5 yo niece. Even doctors won’t say anything about overweight/obese children because parents get offended. The 99th percentile is considered obese.
