Ha ha...I don't feel sorry for them one single bit. Maybe now they'll cook wholesome meals for their kids instead of gorging them with McDonald's. I read People Magazine a while back about obese children--some of these kids ate in a day what my family eats in a week (grocery bill-wise). The parents acknowledge that they can stop it (ie, most of the kids covered did not have metabolic problems which led them to be overweight), but the kids are essentially spoiled--that they get what they want all the time, and for them, it just happens to be food. Whatever happened to the word "no"? I heard it as a child, and I turned out fine. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
