You buy the food and support the fmaily then you can push your ideas upon us. You dont so you leave people alone. I'd SO much rather Shrek trying to get my kids to do stuff than you, Paris, olsens ect, because of YOU people feel they have to starve their selves and get other illness beside heart disease. My kids are no where near being fat but still, you do not need to be telling anyone how to run THEIR family, run your own. I SO agree with Celsou and Maggie.

Thanks for making me anorexic!" or "Happy Mother's Day Mom! Thanks for making me think hating my body is normal!" i think it's really interesting that they've tried to frame that whole campaign around some kind of "mommy power" message - mommy's the one who's really in control of the house, she's in charge here, she can fix everything! really twisted. what it's really saying is "you're a bad mommy if your kids are chubby. why don't you love them enough to make them skinny?" when will we see “Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Thanks for making me anorexic!” or “Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Thanks for making me think hating my body is normal!”

What about the fathers' responsibility? Come father's day will they also be admonished? Because I read about an australian study that links fathers' parenting style with childhood obesity.
