Your Kid Is Fat and That Is Bad
Published: 14:06 EST, July 13, 2007
Overweight child removed from home A mother in northwest England is fighting to get her 8-year-old daughter back after the town council removed the girl because she was extremely overweight. The Cumbria County Council reportedly had a number of concerns about the girl's upbringing but said it was her obesity that triggered the decision to put her into care, The Times of London reported Friday. "Parental behavior that leads to childhood obesity can be a form of neglect," says Anne Ridgeway, chairman of the Cumbria Local Safeguarding Children Board. The girl's mother contends her daughter's size is related to a medical problem or genetics and has nothing to do with diet. "Our daughter doesn't overeat and she's active," the mother told The Times. "The only bad thing we have given her is fizzy drinks." The 5-foot-tall girl reportedly wears a size 16, which is six sizes larger than the average for her age. According to Britain's National Obesity Forum, the girl is the latest of a small number of children taken into care because of obesity.

Exactly how much are .. **we** / government going to owe this woman ..
WHEN .. it is proven the iron added to her food is what got her kid .. removed .. How .. much .. Or should we all be .. beaten .. Serum ferritin is .. iron .. snip directly demonstrate an association between serum ferritin and visceral fat area (VFA), and subcutaneous fat area (SFA), snip Diabetes Care. 2005 Oct;28(10):2486-91. Links Serum ferritin is associated with visceral fat area and subcutaneous fat area. Iwasaki T, Nakajima A, Yoneda M, Yamada Y, Mukasa K, Fujita K, Fujisawa N, Wada K, Terauchi Y. Department of EndocrinologyMetabolism, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, 3-9 Fukuura, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama 236-0004, Japan. . OBJECTIVE: Until now, few clinical studies have reported on the association between the indexes of body fat distribution and serum ferritin, an indicator of body iron stores and a putative risk factor for insulin resistance. We investigated the association between serum ferritin concentrations and the indexes of distribution of adipose tissues in the body, such as the visceral fat area (VFA), the subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and the hepatic fat content in Japanese subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 248 Japanese subjects (127 men and 121 postmenopausal women aged 57.8 +/- 13.9 years, BMI 25.7 +/- 4.6 kg/m(2); 140 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 108 nondiabetic subjects) were evaluated. Subjects with a history of alcohol intake were excluded from the study. We measured body height, body weight, and serum ferritin, as well as fasting plasma glucose and plasma insulin concentrations. We estimated insulin resistance by homeostasis model assessment. The fat distribution was evaluated by measuring the VFA and SFA by abdominal computed tomography at the umbilical level. To assess the hepatic fat content, the ratio of the computed tomography attenuation value of the liver to that of the spleen was calculated. RESULTS: Serum ferritin was significantly correlated with the various indexes of adiposity examined, such as the hepatic fat content (r = -0.280, P 0.0001), VFA (r = 0.254, P 0.0001), SFA (r = 0.231, P = 0.0005), and homeostasis model assessment (r = 0.286, P = 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report to directly demonstrate an association between serum ferritin and VFA and SFA. The results of this study suggest that the serum ferritin concentration may be a useful indicator of systemic fat content and degree of insulin resistance.

No wonder making fun of "fat" is the world's last acceptable bigotry. For the record, I know several families who have adopted and biological children. The biological children have issues with their weight. The adopted children (who were placed in the homes at 10 days of age) do not suffer the same weight issues. To state that genetics does not play a role in obesity and that fat people are just gluttonous pigs is small minded and uneducated. |
