The flip side of the obesity crisis: How some U.S. parents are putting their BABIES on diets

And the problem is? Shouldn't parents control what their children consume?

With one in ten children under two overweight, in the U.S. the obesity crisis is getting worse each year. But some parents are so worried about preventing the problem, they are putting their babies on diets.

Leading paediatricians have revealed how increasing numbers of mothers and fathers are controlling the intake of food in children as young as seven months...Dr Hammond said that Mrs Hasan was not concerned when Maya - who is at the low end of the recommended healthy weight bracket for her age - had not gained any weight between check-ups.

Normal is normal.

Shut up, meddling doctors.
