NO!
So some doctor from Harvard has released a statement saying obese children should be taken from their parents and placed into foster care. What about educating the parents? What about making healthier foods more affordable? What about regulating the crap fast food chains serve for $1? (Did you know if you substitute the fruit cup for fries at Chick Fil A, it cost you more?) What about making gym/playtime a requirement in all schools? Not every parent has time to cook a meal for their family everyday, some parents have to work 2 jobs just to pay the bills. I totally get that it's convenient to go through the drive thru and pick up supper. Do not take kids away from parents who are doing their best to raise their kids. Do not overload a foster care system that already has it's own issues, with 2 million kids who are NOT being neglected or abused! That's my rant for today.
