There is a lot wrong with society, when you have (in particular) a child feeling the pressure to be thin.
Growing up as a child, I was naturally thin, but I do not remember it being a must. I simply ate home cooked meals (made from scratch) and ran around lot!
I guess times have changed, and there are foods which children have become used to, which were not the norm back in the day, such as fast foods. Treats, yes. Lifestyle, no. Due to this, I cannot blame society entirely. I have always believed, that a child’s start in life begins in the home. But then, this is just my opinion, and I am not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t do with their children, grandchildren, etc.
It is a crying shame that children should be made to feel like this.
It really is.
