Parents that are overfeeding their child with tons of food everyday are immoral and they should be put in prison for that in my opinion because a child doesn’t understand the full social ramifications of obesity. A child does not know that they could potentially die if they get a heart attack or stroke.
I believe that if an adult still choose to be obese despite knowing the potential risk that could happen as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle then I think it’s morally okay for them to continue living that lifestyle. However if an adult is obese then they should pay more taxes, pay double bus fare and pay double the price for airplane tickets as a result of their unhealthy lifestyle. Because cardiovascular is number 1 cause of death in Canada and we should never encourage people to live unhealthy lifestyles that cause cardiovascular disease.
So punish everyone anytime they do something dangerous or unhealthy? Riding a bike or driving a car also carries risks, as do most forms of sport. Going into the sun? You might get sunburnt, please pay this fine. Kiss someone? That’s how diseases spread, straight to jail.
If parents encourages their child to ride a bike, drive a car or going into the sun without sunscreen without tell their child the long term potential risk that could happen as a result of those things then yes I believe they’re immoral and they should be put in prison for child abuse and child endangerment. Parents should always inform their child of the potential risk of any activity that the child decide to engage before they engage in that activity.
You know what’s super good for a kid? Putting their parents in jail. It leads to all sorts of great outcomes.
fucking everything has risk, it would literally be impossible for a parent to explain every risk.
not to mention the kid may just straight up not understand what the hell skin cancer is or how painful a scraped knee from falling off a bike is.
