I agree. Unless they have a medical problem, it is abuse. Overweight kids not only get abuse but suffer from problems with joints and other illnesses they would not have if they were normal weight. Parental responsibility without a doubt.

I really enjoy reading Helen's articles. She's the most recent winner of Big Brother so of course there's still a lot of interest in her. Her threads are very popular on here. There is always a very high view count. Love her or hate her but you certainly can't ignore her.

I've previously read her kid was under the care of social services.
Does she usually look like that? Her face resembles one of those creepy 'uncanny valley' faces as seen in Polar Express.

Exactly. And don't forget her drinking habits and her foul mouth. A fine role model for any child.

The thing I find is that most healthy food is expensive compared to processed foods. Some people don't have the money to buy healthy food so their only choice is the cheaper alternative, which is normally high in calories, fats and sugars. If the government really wants people to get healthier then they should force shops to cut the price of healthier foods so that people can afford them.

I don't think that's true at all. Most home cooked meals like Bolognese, casseroles, shepherds pie etc are very cheap to prepare.

I'm not sure quite what comparison you're making. Processed food doesn't have to be unhealthy. Could you give some examples of expensive and cheaper alternatives?
Anyway, out of season fruit, or fruit that can't be grown near Britain, tends to be expensive, but not always. For instance, I can usually find inexpensive bananas. It's usually not hard to find inexpensive vegetables. And even if a meal includes something that's high in calories, fats, or sugars, it could be a smaller proportion of the whole meal.

The usual right to freedom of expression that we all have?

What does Katie Price have to do with it?
Helen's not talking about children who are obese because of such conditions.Helen even says "Illnesses out there can cause people to be overweight, I get that, of course I do, I get that people turn to food through depression too."
Does she have to put it in red letters three feet high before it's noticed?
It's interesting that the article repeats the misinformation that Marilyn Monroe was size 16, complains that "Nowadays, a female size 12 is seen as being on the large side", and even says "I'm sure it won't be long until Kate Moss is branded a chubster." (Distortions in that direction are ok, it seems.)

Yup and the right to be criticised in the same vein.

Don't let the facts get in the way of the uber offended brigade.

And other work, but I'll not judge her like she judges others.

Correct. She also does a lot of charity work and recently had a very successful Macmillan Coffee Morning which raised thousands of pounds. She will also be taking part in a charity football match with a percentage of sales going to Macmillan.

Well done to her. I'm glad for her she no longer has to nudge nudge wink wink. Life really has turned around for her but she really is no social commentator, certainly not one anyone with sense would take note of.

Size 16 is the norm for women now apparently.

Helen has inspired me to have my own Macmillan Coffee Morning and that will take place shortly.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few problems with that 'statistic'.
For a start, what sort of "average" is meant? Is it the middle value, so that about half are above and half below (median), the most common size (mode), or the number you get when you add up everyone's size and divide by the number of people (mean). I mention this because some articles about it even use all three as if they were interchangeable. They'll say that it's the average (which most often means the mean) but at other points say it's the most common size or the one that half are above and half below. (It's possible that the different types of average will have the same value, but it's not at all clear that they actually do.) We'd have to go back to the original source (assuming there is one) to find out what the stat is really about.
Also, dress size doesn't take height into account. If women are larger (taller, etc,) they'll wear larger dresses even if they aren't any fatter.
Finally, the proportion of people who are overweight to obese varies by age. An average for all women can be misleading.

How the hell does a small salon raise thousands In one coffee morning.
I mean great if she did. But I worked for national bingo chain that did a coffee morning. We had around 700 through the door and only just cracked £3000
The logistics of a small salon raising the same amount in a morning seems a little off.
Don't get me wrong all charity is good charity but I think your over selling the amount
