This isn't about telling people how to live their lives.

I didn't say anything to that family. I didn't laugh or point or anything, I was just amazed that the mother would not only sanction such excessive consumption, but actually set the example in the first place.

I would (and have), however, say to friends and family about being overweight. In fact, I tell my dad that he needs to lay off the pies every time I see him.

@al: You'd think, with the popularity of 'celebrity' chefs that we'd be a nation of cooks who had mastered the art of making a meal out of raw ingredients we'd bought for only a fiver... it sadly appears as though this is far from the case.
