Obesity causes a plethora of health risks, why aren't parents held accountable by the law?Since a parent can be charged with child endangerment for giving a child toxins that cause similar ailments, why not overfeeding?

I am so tired of everything being termed "child abuse". Now it's what you feed your children. It is WAY past time to back off of terming everything someone doesn't agree with or every tiny mistake or wrong as child abuse. And I do not like the way food is being demonized either. Food is food. It is not "good" or "bad", it is food. I'm not talking about sodas or cheetos. If you want to go after something, go after the soda companies.

They should be but there is already too much government and social interference in how kids are raised. Remember the old days when if the kid acted up they were sent to bed without supper? Now that is child abuse.

unless you are a parent of an overweight child, I don't think you should talk. Kids get fattening food from places other than home. You can teach them all about choices, and then the kids choose what they want. I personally think you should 'go after' smokers that smoke in front of their kids, or trap them in the car and smoke in the same car, or smoke in front of them after they give them their inhalers for asthma. Besides, the social system for child protection has trouble watching what they should already...don't give em any more jobs

Is it the duty of the government to tell us how to raise our children? Would that not be an infringement of our freedom. I hate to hear crap like this spewed by anyone. It is not the job of the government to protect us from our own stupid mistakes. The hypocricy of some people knows no bounds to be honest with you. Those on the left will say that a woman has a right to choose, but in the same breath they will want to impose restriction after restriction on people for stupid stuff like this.

because the truth is, many parents try to keep their kids from being overweight.

it is not always successful howver, due to the high probability it is genetic or others might be overweight because of steroids due to lung disease, consume the very foods the gov allows for sale...there are, sorry to say many other issues.

trust me....i didn't have to eat much growing up and i was still fat.
it had nothing to do with overeating.

who should be accountable? the goverment....foods now days are laden with steroids, additives, fillers, chemicals and many other very bad and unhealthy components....fake sugar tops my list of the most unhealthy chemical there is and things in vaccines and the air we breath certainly don't help matters any either.

do some research before posting a question such as the one you asked...eventually you will figure it out.
