That is so sad! I cannot help but think that there has to be SOMETHING wrong inside a little preschoolers body to get that big. None the less, if the parents are giving in and letting her eat whatever she wants, they are at least partially to blame if they are not going to do whatever they need to do to help her get healthy.
I think it doesn't help matters that it costs more to buy healthy food typically than it does to buy junk food.
