OUTRAGE

Splashed across the front page of Sydney's Daily Telegraph today comes the appalling news that babies as young as one are being diagnosed as obese, with a major hospital treating youngsters twice the size they should be.

The children are developing adult conditions including liver and heart disease, diabetes and sleep apnoea.

This atrocity is being thrust upon our children by those in the community who couldn't give a shit!

The Obesity Police cops a lot of flack over the stance it takes on obesity, its causes and effects, but the passion with which we highlight the dangers of this scourge now highlights the most abhorrent situation to arise to date.

If we reported that children in Australia as young as one were purposely being starved to death there would be outrage.

So why not the outrage when children as young as one are being fed so much crap that they are ending up twice the size that they should be.

And don't go using the argument that these children have "inherited" an obese gene or that their keepers simply have "no idea". That just won't cut it.

All creatures great and small know instinctivey how to care for their young, and care they do: for if they didn't there would be no World for us in which to live.

Due to their keepers malevolent attitude to life, these children have inherited a lifetime of misery, of catastrophic psycho-socio-physical problems, that will plague them for the rest of their life.

We say hang those responsible for creating this preventible, shameful historic mess.
