Dr. Phil Getting Real On Childhood Obesity

Dr Phil was talking to parents of severely obese children this evening.

I must admit that when I see these types of shows I get angry. One mother had a 80 lb 3-year-old, one mother wrote in that her 70lb 2-year-old would only eat orange chicken, one mother didn't know what to do about her 351 lb. 15-year-old because "she couldn't stop her". I should also mention that whenever I see these shows the mothers are always also obese.

I just want to scream! The only way these children can get this food is if the parents provide it. How is that point lost on these parents? Coincidentally, Dr. Phil made that very same point. Such a sensible man.
