Children of Fat Parents – The Oprah Connection To Child Abuse

Fattening up a child so that he or she is at increased risk of developing physical, emotional and mental disorders is child abuse.

Nutritional child abuse is the most common form of child abuse  of which we are aware.

“Studies have shown that a child's risk of obesity greatly increases if one or more parent is overweight or obese.” [i]

The most significant predictor of childhood overweight/obesity is parental overweight/obesity. [ii]

Basically, fat parents raise fat kids.

Keeping adults fat increases their likelihood of having fat children who are at greater risk of developing the problems associated with nutritional child abuse.

Oprah and her experts promote diets that are doomed to fail.

Failed dieters remain fat (and get even fatter) thus placing their children at increased risk of being nutritionally abused.

Clearly, Oprah and her hand-picked experts are part of the child abuse problem.
