My point is this, children have lots of natural energy. If she does not have the energy to complete these pageants without stimulants, she should not be in them. She is far too young to be drinking those drinks. I don't drink those drinks. There is way too much sugar and caffeine for me, a grown adult, much less a small child.

Furthermore that mother is doing her daughter no favors by not teaching her the about the importance of movement and good nutrition. That gut might seem cute now, but fat cells don't ever disappear. They can shrink, but they never go away and having that many around her stomach now just reads disaster for her when she becomes older. Diabetes and hypertension are not cute. I grew up chubby and I know the kind of battles she's going to have to fight growing up even if she does learn to eat well and exercise. The mom is setting her child up for a lifetime uphill battle and that's just so hard for me to watch. I will not be tuning in to see that.
