there's really nothing like the first customer of the morning. You hear that "DINNNGG" in your headset and you just know, the next 8 hours are truly going to SUCK. Right on the dot of 5:30 AM this woman comes through ordering her not-so-small child 3 classic glazed doughnuts for her son for breakfast. WTF?! But to make it even more disgusting she asked for a venti cup of whipped cream for him to dip them in... Speechless. I had no words just a disturbed look on my face.

hahahaha. I hate fat kids. Seriously, I was running around playing in dirt and racing the boys when I was younger. I do not understand what's going on with some parents who decide to order Little Timmy a Big Mac meal or something utterly fattening like what you just stated. It is disgusting. There should be a P90x for fat sh!t kids. Sorry, had to vent.

Hey! I resent that. There's a fat kid inside of me, eating all that greasy fastfood. It explains why I'm skinny.

I had a grandma getting her toddler a brownie, a chocolate milk, another brownie, and then a smoothie for the ride home.

Jesus! We sell protein boxes and yogurt.
Then the parents wonder why their kid is so badly behaved/fat. Sheesh, maybe it's 10lbs of sugar you gave him for breakfast.
Poor kid. Ten years down the road when he realizes WHY he's fat, he's going to hate his mom for all the bullying he went through. And possibly childhood diabetes.

I HATE fat kids too. They are all usually obnoxious and disgusting and obnoxious again. If they weren't so obnoxious all of the time I wouldn't hate them so much. Also if I ever have kids they are never getting donuts or whipped cream.

I feel bad for fat kids, because when they're that young it's pretty much the parents' fault for not teaching them better eating habits. I was a pudgy child (and then a pudgy teenager), and now as a slim adult I'm still messed up about food - when I see a dumb parent caving to the demands of kids who don't know any better and buying them all kinds of sugary junk, I want to sit them down and explain how problematic that behavior is both now and later on. Frustrating...

It is the parents' fault.
I'm pretty surprised at how immature a lot of these responses are.

@crucial_buzz assuming that a child with diabetes is obese is kinda insensitive considering most diagnoses of type 2 diabetes happens in adults over 40. My kid sister has type 1 diabetes, it has nothing to do with bad eating habits.
That being said, with diabetes so prominent in my family history I was raised as if I already had it, and I plan on doing the same with my kids. I'm one of those people who considers sugar poisonous. A little is okay obviously, but it's extremely addictive and that's why children act like addicts when they don't get that candy hey want. I dont know why parents don't realize this after all the studies in recent years. if parents would take the time to educate themselves and not just give in to their kids to keep them quiet the world would be a healthier place.

Sorry. Didn't mean to be insensitive. I did say "possible". I don't know how old the kid was, but if he's 6 and eating 3 doughnuts and a venti cup of "dipping whipped cream", then ten years down the line it's possible he could have diabetes due to diet.
From web md:
The single greatest risk factor for type 2 diabetes in children is excess weight. In the U.S., almost one out of every five children is considered to be overweight. Once a child is overweight, chances are more than doubled that the child will develop diabetes. One or more of these factors may contribute to excess weight or obesity:
Unhealthy eating patterns
Lack of physical activity
An inherited tendency
Rarely, a hormone problem or other medical conditionAgain, not trying to be unsympathetic (my old co-worker was skinny as a rail and had diabetes, and was 19) but I wasn't assuming a child with diabetes is obese. I was saying children who are excessively overweight are at risk of becoming diabetic.

Wow, a lot of hate for fat kids. You have to understand that the fat kid didn't pull up and order three donuts, the mom did. Kids don't get to choose what they eat (unless the parents are morons), they eat what the parents give them. Parents making bad decisions is a problem and it's getting worse in America and other western countries.
@Caffeinehigh, type 2 diabetes used to be called "adult onset" diabetes, but they changed the name because so many kids were getting it. For kids born after 2000, one in three caucasians and one in two minorities will get diabetes sometime in their lives, most of them before they graduate high school.
You spend more for a venti latte then the government spends to feed a child school lunches for an entire week. The problem is unhealthy processed food for children.
Don't hate, tolerate. And try to be the solution to the problem.

Yeah, there's a lot of fatphobia in this forum. It's disgusting.

agreed, vodka.
my parents nearly force fed me healthy crap since the second i could eat solid food, yet i've been fat my whole life. my dad had/has thyroid cancer, looks like i may have thyroid problems too.
but i mean it's totally my/my parents' faults right?

I'd say 3 glazed donuts and a venti whipped cream is the fault of the parents :/ I couldn't put that amount away and I'm an adult. Although 1 donut with whipped cream sounds like a really good idea, now that it's been mentioned...

^^^lol^^^
I didn't mean for it to come across that I thought it was the kids fault!! Totally bad parenting!! I guess I should've titled this abusive parent, or enablers at there worst? .. Sorry if it offended anyone.Posted 1 year ago # -
i don't think it's the donuts/whipped cream combo that anyone's found insulting, but rather comments like "I hate fat kids," "I HATE fat kids too. They are all usually obnoxious and disgusting and obnoxious again. If they weren't so obnoxious all of the time I wouldn't hate them so much," and just generally referring to kids (who haven't had a whole lot of control over it, since they're, y'know, kids) singularly by the way they look.
i mean how do you think people would react if there was a thread called "Blond Kid" or "Black Kid" or "Hispanic Kid" or "Short Kid" etc and the first few posts were people going "i HATE _____ kids." you're whittling down a person's existence to one facet of their physical being that they can't really control, especially not as a kid, and then stereotyping them based on this one thing.
i don't disagree three donuts and whipped cream or two brownies and chocolate milk and a smoothie is ridiculous, but i do think the overgeneralization and stereotyping is ridiculous.

I thought nearly all children were obnoxious little...scamps. Maybe that's just because I don't have any. That being said, there's clearly a correlation between sugar intake, weight, and level of obnoxiousness. Not necessarily weight itself and obnoxiousness, but if a child is heavy BECAUSE of regularly unhealthy habits, those same habits tend to contribute to them bouncing off the walls. Sugar makes kids hyper. It just does. And if parents are caving to sugar demands one can probably safely assume that there isn't a huge amount of discipline in said parenting. Point being: I can see the logic, although I depending on circumstances I might give the benefit of doubt and assume the kid's naturally heavy or has a medical problem.

You know, childhood obesity is a form of child abuse in my opinion. Children of very young ages don't have the knowledge, wherewithall or capacity to recognize that their diet has a direct impact on their health.
Don't blame the kids- it's usually not their fault that their parents are in essence really crappy parents and ruining their lives by either laziness (fast food over taking the steps necessary to eat healthy) or forcing their own obesity issue onto their children. So to reiterate, child abuse.

Not all kids. My bf's little girl is unbelievably well behaved. Same with my cousins.
A lot of parents are just plain bad. Their kids run around while they are stuck in their iphones looking at ifunny. Kids don't have manners, and how can they when they've never been taught? Parents are rewarding bad behavior by buying candy to shut the kids up, which is just reinforcing the bad behavior. I mean, if you knew that if you yell enough you'd get your way, youdn't you just make a scene?
Starbucks customers do it all the time. Now gimme some recovery coupons!I don't blame the kids. I blame the parents.
And I'm not playing devil's advocate with the "i hate fatties" posters, but I do think some people are half-reading posts and misinterpreting them (and not just on this thread either). So, before you guys fly off the handle, re-read the post before you get really offended?
Oh! 2hot2handle: Yeah, that doesn't fly now. Can't let the kids leave the yard because they might get abducted. Or fall and break a leg. Or an arm. Or get a sunburn. Better yet, don't let them go outside.

@crucial_buzz I don't think it's all that hard to misinterpret posts in which people outright say "I hate fat kids." Don't tell people not to be offended. It's the other side that needs to think before it speaks (or types).

I'm more talking about caffeinehigh's post to me.
Once again, NOT playing devil's advocate with the "i hate fatties" posters!Ironic.

Sorry I didn't mean to be such an a55hole (even though I was)
I hate the kids that are rude to their parents and rude to the people around them due to sh1tty parenting. Nothing against weight, I was chunky as a kid, but I was brought up properly.
I guess I just remember a lot of them as fat because of my last job.
I apologize

Between parents' nutritional ignorance and the food industry's control over the average American's diet, there are plenty of kids who hardly stand a chance. Hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup, cottonseed oil, and the list goes on and on. Then there is the epitome of the Evil Empire, Monsanto, who makes a pesticide, then makes a GMO soybean that is resistant to that pesticide. Recently there have been found weeds resistant to the pesticide, so they are working on new pesticides and new soybeans. The Ads from MacDonalds and Wendy's that make food look so wonderful, the "pink slime" (waste meat turned into food for humans),etc., etc.
Straying off the subject, but not that far. It all is under the topic of our health and what we eat, and how powerful the food industry is when it comes to regulations, labeling, and lobbying.
But an ignorant public which blindly trusts the food industry and cares not to do research into the food they eat suffers. Look at the ingredients in an Oscar Meyer Lunchable kid's meal. They are pretty nasty.
Me? Nothing artificial in our food, and even our dogs and cats eat food that is free from artificial ingredients and is made from all human grade food stuffs. I wear the same size pants I did in college, and I am 60 years old.
We all make choices, and sometimes it is the children who suffer.
I can go on for hours, but you probably haven't ever read this far.. ;-)
