I've not always been the fine, svelte specimen of humanity that I currently am (ahem). And, to be honest, as adults I think we have a choice (in the most part) as to whether we're aware of and do something about our weight or not, but for children of their age to be given carte blanche to eat like that is shocking.
Surely it's the parents responsibility to stop kids eating themselves into an early grave. Or worse, being a life long burden on the NHS due to their extreme obesity.
EDIT: Loon, that's just put a very different perspective on it, and not one I ever thought I'd find myself considering... I actually feel a bit sick now.
