What's with all the fat hating in the comments? Is this junior high?

Not sure where you're getting the "fat hating" vibe. I counted two comments, the first was me talking about "the very real risk of my child growing up to be an obese wreck crippled by diabetes." And the second mentioned an obese person with what's likely weight-related diabetes.

Would I prefer my kid to grow up with an active physical life, and not crippled by obesity and adult-onset diabetes like a growing number of kids? Yes. I don't care whether my daughter is chunky when she grows up, but if she's got to inject insulin to keep her internal organs from shutting down because she spent her childhood eating unhealthy food, and being driven everywhere, finally ending up in one of those motorized wheelchairs because of chronic illness, I will feel a little disappointed.

Hopefully that's not too controversial. I guess I'm a little "old school" that way. You fat people need to lighten up.
