We have known the data obtained from a survey that raised the digital publication El Diario Montañés, Internet users were asked if the custody of parents of obese children should be withdrawn because they were not provided with a healthy and balanced diet.
58.4% of respondents believe that the action of advise on children's nutritional education to parents You take custody of your children. Providing advice on what are the nutritional habits, should be the first task, in the case of recurrence and not providing adequate food to the child then perhaps this issue could be raised, but not before.
Something we wish to highlight are the difficulties in accessing healthy eating, in fact many of the foods that are part of it have a higher cost. Promoting healthy nutritional habits should also go through a reduction in the price of the foods that make them up. It is true, as indicated in El Diario Montañes, that some parents may be excessively comfortable and turn to fast food, but these are not a significant number, all parents (we want to believe that most) want the best for their children and they provide what they believe best within their means.
As one of the respondents says, if the guardianship of the parents of an obese child is withdrawn, drug addicts should also be removed from alcoholics, and we would add reckless to the wheel and any attitude that directly or indirectly can affect minors.
We believe that the solution is in education and counseling and only in cases where, despite the help received, the child is still being fed wrongly, should justice proceed.
