How can you call condemning your kids to a life of suffering from YOUR BAD CHOICES "not hurting anyone else".

Also, what happens when you're too fat to attend their grad, make it to the hospital for life/death situations, hell, take them to the movies?

That was a very poor post.


EDIT: Looks like some others beat me to it.
No, a bad post is one that uses extreme examples to prove a weak point. What percentage of the population in Calgary are too fat to attend a grade or go to the hospital? Maybe 1 in 100,000? What percentage smoke with a child in the car? Maybe 1 in 50?

If you read my other post, I said that if not feeding a kid is child abuse, then way over-feeding (yeah, not a word) should be as well. But honestly, we are talking about a tiny number of people in Canada.

I am all for improving the health of our society. I just think the chances of my kid dying from second hand smoke is a lot higher than the chances of him dying from having 2 big macs a month.
