[quote:Anonymous Coward 1106916:MV8xNjIzNzUyXzI2ODE2MzM2XzdFRjFDQTg1] Fact is that most overweight people are not lazy pigs that sit around all day and eat burgers and fries. I'm so sick of people that say things like that because it's not true. I've been overweight almost all of my life, and it runs in my family. I was thin once.......and to maintain that weight I had to eat 1000 calories a day and work out constantly. It was not sustainable. I know many thin people that eat 2x what I do. It's a matter of genetics, and things that they have not yet discovered. They will discover why some people are predisposed to being overweight someday, and then finally people will stop with this sterotyping. It's just wrong, cruel and inhumane. I'd rather be fat and kind, then thin and mean. There are alot more important things in life then what the scale says. Too bad that I didn't figure that out until I was middle aged instead of when I was younger because I could have saved myself a whole lot of grief with dieting and feeling bad about myself because I wasn't a size 2 when I was younger.

In the first case of its kind, their mother and father now face what they call the ‘unbearable’ likelihood of never seeing them again.
Their three daughters, aged 11, seven and one, and five-year-old son, will either be ‘fostered without contact’ or adopted.
