Is childhood obesity a form of child abuse?

Who's moving goalposts and strawmanning did you say? This is a moral debate. Legality has no place in it. That's a logical fallacy used by brainwashed idiots who's never challenged their worldview or tried to rationalize it. My claim is that consistent cruel behaviour - which feeding your child into obesity is - is abuse, which in fact is the literal definition of abuse. And OPs defence of said abuse can be applied to among other things, beating your kids. The onus is on you here to rationalize why it's not abuse, because I've got the definition and scientific foundation on my side. And if your next comment isn't furthering that side of the conversation then I'm blocking you because you're clearly not interested in being an adult.
