[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent I wouldn't be happy about how you handled it.  You could explain that people come in all shapes and sizes.  You basically fat shamed to a toddler, congrats.[/quote]

OP here: I don't think that I "fat shamed" at all. Considering that we have such a obesity epidemic going on, I thought it was a good time to explain to her that this is why we eat healthy foods and not junk foods. I didn't use the term fat with her (I don't even think she knows that word or what it means). I told her that it's not nice to talk about how someone looks but when she asked me how her tummy got so big, I told her that sometimes when you eat a lot of bad food, that is what happens which is the truth.

Well no...sometimes people have medical conditions that can cause obesity or the inability to exercise.  Some people can eat crap all day long and be thin as a rail.  Some people can try and eat healthy and really struggle with food.  You tied food consumption to appearance and it's inappropriate IMO.  You basically said that chick is fat because she's an over eating pig.  Not nice, OP.[/quote]
