    There are obese children in America. If they’re starving, their parents are doing it on purpose.

      In the 80s when there was a famine in Africa and children were shown with bloated intestines on TV, there were people claiming that they were just fat.

      When I look at obese American children, they’re obviously not starving, but I think the issue is the same: Poverty.
