- Journalist Sonia Poulton and media commentator Katie Hopkins debate the thorny issue of childhood obesity and whether parents should tell their overweight child that they are 'fat'.
Video owned by ITV/This Morning.
I don't think parents should just say "you're fat" to their children, instead, introduce healthier food into their diet and spend time with their child doing active things every week like cycling or going for walks. Rather than upsetting the child by telling them to their face.
But apples have like no fat in them :p agree on the chicken though.
They need to be told that they are fat so they can self improve physically and mentally, Being nice to them does not produce character, or courage, who most fat women do not have. They have an entitlement mentality, ususally fostered by skinny women, so they can money off of them in the food and agriculutural industry as well clothes industry, So fat or left wing women who have kids can teach thier kids to be CONSUMERS, eventually passing over their entitlement mentality, down to thier children. It's a never ending cycle. And frankly by suggesting that parents "need to be nice" to thier childeren in regards to thier PHYSICAL HEALTH, you're contributing the problem.
newyorkfan16 i think we can’t wrap kids in cotton wool but we can never call them fat. i’ve been called fat multiple times and i’m average build for a young girl and i have dealt with eating disorders due to being told by my family that i was overweight when i was clearly not, looking back on it now. there are millions of other ways to deal with this other than calling your child fat to their face. it’s disgraceful. this message coming from a 14 year old girl. i know how to deal with a child and i’m a teenager. trust my every word when i say that children or teens believe every word their mothers say and take it to heart and we totally hold them on the highest peg in our hearts. please be nice your children.
newyorkfan16 no! That is how eating disorders start. By someone saying a child is fat, them over exercising and starving themselves!! Mental heath is hugeeee today and low life people like Katie Hopkins and yourself need to get a grip!!
Fat fugly kids should be told to their fat ugly faces but the problem is that the trampy parents who bred the monsters are just as fat and stupid!
the children don’t buy the grocery’s, if you’re calling you’re child fat it’s your own fault
very true
Exactly so theres no need to call them fat. I agree with Holly, just feed them healthily and get them out and exercising without making a deal of it.
I agree with this but the problem is food in schools are so unhealthy now

That’s true. But packed lunches are becoming more prevalent.

The way Katie looks at the other guest when they are speaking is hilarious!
It certainly is.
@@Shankar-Bhaskar yeah so true. Its really funny
She is comedic
Zebra in a wig!! 😂😂😂
@Absolutely Fabulous she's a bitch
Katie's mind: "you're fat!" **kid gets skinny**
If it was only that easy
@@user-es7uz6kk7b they will probably eat more because of it. emotional eating is way worse than what they were doing before.
Julia Watkins why you saying it to me 😂
I mean that’s basically what happened to me... when I was 7/8 I was overweight and my grandmother sometimes made comments on my stomach and thighs, at the time this was obviously very embarrassing and slightly offensive but her comments actually encouraged me to lose weight. In my opinion, hearing these words kindly from my grandmother is MUCH better than hearing it from my peers in the form of bullying.
Or gets a *eating disorder* - which happened to me for NOT being even overweight according to the BMI rubbish. 🤷🏻♀️
I agreed with Holly the most on this, we should help the children become healthy without calling them "fat" because labelling them can cause insecurities which can lead to mental health problems.
Growing up I got teased at school and it hurt but it would have hurt ten million times worse to hear it from my own parents.
Chris Fay fuck you ,
@Absolutely Fabulous it doesn't really have much to do with Britain exclusively. Children are allowed to be snowflakes because they're children. By a parent directly calling their child fat they are shifting the blame onto someone who can't take care of themselves yet and are still relying on the name caller to look after them. They don't deserve to be talked to in that manner for something that isn't their fault. The parent should be discreet about it and support themselves and the whole family to be more active and eat a more balanced diet.
Absolutely Fabulous
There’s a difference between calling somebody fat and telling them how to be healthier.
I agree that you need to be honest with people, but there is no need to be a dick just for the sake of being a dick.
This is children were talking about, if you seriously believe that not calling a child fat is me being a “snowflake” then you need to think again.
At the end of the day it is the parent that needs to take responsibility, a child doesn’t know better.
Chris Fay true
Chris Fay fugly😂😂😂🤣🤣 I couldn’t agree with you more, well said. Society now days is so 🤬🤬🤬 sensitive, you can be accused of being a bully if you say something, it’s ridiculous.
Why is everyone focused on the child being bullied?? What about the fact that the child is going to have health issues!
Nicole Grant lmao exactly
Nicole Grant focus on both. Bullying can cause mental health problems and self consciousness but obesity can cause health problems. Both are bad ,
Anorexia. Health problem that can occur if you bully a child into thinking she or he’s fat.
@@urnansgay1592 very true but not the point of this argument. This child is overweight and the parents are more concerned with the child being bullied than being healthy. Quite tragic.
Nicole Grant well I was overweight. Them saying only made me worse as I stress ate, then became anorexic as i thought I was too fat and was disgusting
I grew up as an obese child. If it weren't for my parents telling me I was obese, I'd have died in 2016. It's called tough love.
I've been obese since 12. It's gotten to the point where I'm waiting for the gastric sleeve surgery. Parents are both obese. Have been throughout all these years.
Jonny Bairstow is a fatty
@@stratfordbabyI hope my tax isn’t paying for your fat surgery
It was your parents fault in the first place mate .
No a parent should not tell their child they are fat.... they should not make them fat in the first place. The children don't buy the food...
The kids sit on their video games/TV/social media and live a inactive life
@@MrSpardas "You can't out train a bad diet". Unethical food cos want you to blame yourself as they point their finger and say "you need to be more active" (to divert the attention away from themselves, of course).
- Remove the junk food from the home and school
- Remove it from "eye level is buy level" in the supermarkets and convenience stores
- Limit the amount of sugar permitted in food
- Treat unethical food cos (Nestle etc) like tobacco cos.
Problem sorted.

Quality comment. When you have nothing intelligent to say, insult their hair! FFS. You're either twelve years old, or a moron. Which one is it?
There are way nicer ways to say “you’re fat.” That sorta stuff causes eating disorders and mental health problems in the future, you don’t just tell someone that. I would just not mention it like that and slowly bring healthier alternatives and do fun exercise with my child rather than damaging their mental health permanently. I thought that was common sense but obviously not.
I would just say okay son you are a little bit of a chubber we are gonna do loads of new sports together the parents need to take responsibility acknowledge the problem and do something about it
fat is not a dirty word
Zoe Beard yeah but the power is ultimately still in your hands to something about it and I feel Katie has a point admit your problem take responsibility and do something about it
Unicorn Gamer 2019 really all she did was say something to her if she didn’t someone else might sadly it’s human nature but again she can do something about it
@@glenfleetham9903 im actually starting to lose weight. but it's not okay to fat shame people. it makes things worse. i know this because of my own personal experiences. thats my view anyway

She looked proud as Sonia made that comment 🤣

A zebra in a wig!!! Hahaha oh my gosh, I couldn't focus after that.
people used to call me fat when really I wasnt as a little girl as a result i suffered anorexia/ bulimia
TheLindigo yes thank you I was never overweight and I always got told I was big and from that I suffered from anorexia for a long time
Adleast ur not fat still
Bit hypocritical that shes "worried" about kids being picked on when she is the one doing it, the names for example.
haha me too

Monique heart's Laugh no I think he did it 5 years ago
@@gazayouth9132 you know what I mean though haha
I'd rather be called names, than have my own health KILL me. Katie is right once again. Notice how most of the commenters here hating on Katie, are either fat left wing women, or fat fetish enablers, or single mums. It's not suprising really when most fat kids are ususally under the supervision of WOMEN primarily, not MEN....Single women with kids, like to hide the harsh reality of overindulgence, teaching their own kids to be consumers, which gives leeway to the ENTITLEMENT mentality the majority of fat people have.
my mother encourages me to exercise regularly and also provides me with healthy, balanced meals, I don't feel labelling the child as 'fat' is the right way to go about the situation. if the child's health is at risk, it is the parents job to correct this, not scar the child's self esteem.
I love the way katie looks at her opponent it hilarious
Bird of prey
Opponent is this Hyper Street Fighter 😄
I was a fat kid that used to sneak food behind my parents back! I wish I'd have been told point blank to go on a diet, would have saved me a lot of bullying
Who's to say you would have listened tho? Especially as u say u were sneaking food
Honey don’t worry. It gets easier. Instead of saying your fat say your slightly overweight and just need to lose a few pounds then introduce healthier eating and exercise in
This is the thing, I completely understand where you are coming from. But I promise you, you do not want to be told to go on a diet by your own parents. You want to be educated by them, to be taught by them how to be healthy and why it’s not great to sneak food behind their backs. If you were educated you wouldn’t have done that and you also wouldn’t be left with emotional scars.
How about people stop telling Maisie what she wants and doesn't want just because its not the same opinon you share.
And now you have realised the problem. Thats 2 steps forward and zero back. Well done X
When I was in school in the 1980's no kids were fat.
It's true. Remember one lad being overweight but that was it. Kids eat too much junk food these days. KFC, McDonalds, Pizza Hut...need I go on?
There was only 2 children fat in my whole school and I'm 71. There was no Maccas no KFC and we ate what we were given and no eating out. Sweets were a treat. No body snacked between meals. Financially people did not have the money people now have to spend on food. And people are lazy, it's too much trouble to clean veggies peel spuds and cook. It's much easier to buy Maccas. I personaly can not stand junk food , food like KFC to me is disgusting. . I thank god I was taught to cook clean do laundry etc. But still managed to have professional career. It's just laziness its that simple.
I don't see what good sitting down in front of your child and calling them "fat" will do. Why not instead take a more gentle approach and encourage (keyword here: encourage) their children to live healthier?
A gentle approaches leads, to a entitlement mentality, which is the majority of the people today. Too much coddling, gives kids a sense of superiority, narcissism actually. Just look around you.
Lee When I was entering puberty, I was 13 and my aunt came to me and said “you are sweating and you smell like shit. Buy a deodorant “ and since this very day I have been taking extreme care for my hygiene and I am proud of it. So the blunt message does help
@joemobumtwizzler and being hard faced and nasty doesn't either. You only have to look at how narrow minded and ignorant older generations are to see that, it hasn't made them tough, its made them bitter. I pity them!
A gentle approach also leads to not understanding how important it is that we change for the sake of our health. TH-cam has so many educational videos now, parents should watch those with their children.
You don't call your child fat. If I were a fat child I'd rather people tell me I'm fat and walk out of school crying, then going home to my parents who will comfort me and say "hey we'll make them stop calling you fat, lets go play (insert whatever sport here) together" If you label your children you are being the bully. You're their one source of love and you should remain the loving parent.
Half the problem is parents don't do that though, they say "awwww, don't cry, lets go and get you a burger and a shit load of chocolate."
Adam P Yes,,, This video though argues that you should tell your children they're fat.. But instead it should argue that you should help your children instead of insult them
Parents should love their children and part of loving your children is educating them on the subjects of food. It is the parents fault if the child leaves home when they’re 18 and doesn’t know how to cook a decent healthy meal.
Katie is making a good, valid point here, I think the hard approach for obesity problems is necessary. Just like with anorexia, if you don't enforce strict laws or reveal harsh truths, then the person could ignore the seriousness of the situation and continue in their ways, and that would result in severe health problems and ultimately death.
Being obese is the same, it is an eating disorder, and it requires the same kind of strict recovery plan as anorexic people. A wake up call is required and the seriousness of the situation must be recognised, as it is a matter of life and death.
Completely agree and she even proved it on a tv show eat more move less
Katie is so rude but also hilarious 🙄😂😂🤣
To be objective, her opponent was way more rude. Katie doesn't interrupt and she can controll her emotions unlike most people she debates.
@@singalexsong100%
Honestly I was a fat child, heavily overweight. I'm not now though as an 18 year old man and I recognised that it was the food given to me by my parents (I'd have two Aberdeen Angus rib burgers at Burger King, over 1000calories just for dinner aged 9) i can't understand how they would've seen that as acceptable for me to be eating, even with the problems I had. I was tormented for it, and so over time started to buy my own food and my mental health has been so much stronger from it. I genuinely wish I was told I was a fat child so I could be taught how all that Burger King was damaging me and even exposing me to bullying, I do agree with Katie. It's so much more tolling to deal with the weight issues than it is to come to terms with knowing you're unhealthy, especially when that kid knows the source of the playground bullying will be sorted with the guidance of that more rigid parenting
You didn't need to be told you were fat. All you needed was for your parents to feed you properly.
Your story is a good example of the fact : when the child is fat it's the fault of parents.
It physically hurts me to say it but Katie is absolutely spot on here and the statistics completely back her up.
NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGREE WITH KATIE HOPKINS
Katie speaks the truth, the soft approach is not the answer, life is harsh, that's how it is, well spoken Katie.
Sometimes children start binge eating when they’re unhappy. If their parents breakup , they often blame themselves and turn to eating. It’s sad but it happens.
Its the parents job to ensure the child has good mental health. We arent meant to give birth and then put the baby in its bedroom with an xbox and netflix. We have responsibities.
I love it when Katie get's verbally attacked, lmfao.
Kyle wow so you are against bullying but when I comes to people who disagree with you you do the bullying? Hypocrite
@@jetnight88 The comment 6 years old. Not saying I'm not but where did I say I'm against bullying? Also, this isn't bullying. It was more referring to the fact I it when she's verbally challenged better say. 🤷🏼♂️

Cryinngggggggggg hahahahahah
katies facial expressions tho...
Zebra in a wig . Ouch!
However much you hate Katie, she says what everyone is thinking whether you like it or not. We need to tackle obesity head on because if not, the future for this world is pretty grim
That's where you're completely wrong. The approachable topic needs to be beneficial to children not hurtful. Children don't need worries like that in their young lives but tought through perseverance.
mickybyrne60
I agree, children don't need that kind of pressure on them, instead (and this is where i slightly agree with what the snob katie is saying) parents should be told and helped in making their children's lives more active and healthy
toridatiger96 To be honest you're not really agreeing with her, you're simply making taking care of children compulsory. The system should be doing that anyway. She doesn't want to take care of them she wants to belittle and bully them.
Yes, but what is at question here is how shall we tackle obesity. Should we just bluntly put it: "You're fat and now its time to stop being that." Or are there more gentler and subtle, but still effective, ways of tackling obesity? For example, you can just start preparing more healthy meals or start taking your kids out for a day at the park every sunday
destructor5675 Yes, that's what Holly said.
"Go home tell their child they are fat!"
Yes thats gonna solve there self esteem and make it rise up! 😌
And then accept it and comfort eat
R A I N B O W C H E E S E *their*
After giving birth to her kids she would of said.. "well you're born now.. go figure out what Ur doing by urself"
The parents should be blaming themselves if their children are fat. I've seen morbidly obese parents with young children that are already obese. It's disheartening.
As a child, I was underweight and suffered from eating disorders between the ages of 7-14. My mum used to opt-out of the weighting at school for me because we were already seeing my GP about my weight issues and I was worried about having to be weighed in school, in front of my friends. Just because a parent is opting-out of these measures, doesn't mean their lazy and not doing anything. My mum was doing the most and I saw a psychologist for my eating disorder regularly.
-I got told I was morbidly obese by the doctor form when I was 6 years old till I was 10 years old constantly being told I need to lose weight and seeing nutritionist now age 13 I’ve got to see nutritionist because I’ve got an eating disorder! (I was never really overweight just just tall I’m 5’11😳)Personally I think no one should tell a child there fat and they should discuss it with their Parent and there parents should just swap things in the house for heathy alternatives !
*they’re
Even as a fat 19 year old... I LOVE Katie Hopkins!
As much as I hate Katie Hopkins, it is better for the parents to gently and kindly tell their children, rather than the children be bullied at school. The children would know that their parents do not want to be mean and rude, but the child would know that the bullies are trying to be rude and mean.
I was bullied for being fat as a child. It would have been 10000% worse if I'd heard it from my relatives
So if you lose weight , no one would bullied you no relatives no other people , plus you will look healthy and attractive !
@@nellimartin1165 I don't really understand what you are saying. But I think anyone can be any size as long as they are happy. X
Libby Clyde you can’t be happy if you not healthy !!!
@@nellimartin1165 yes, u can. If u know ur unhealthy but don't care then ur happy. I'm not being rude but alot of people on Tik Tok day that they are overweight and the don't give two doughnuts. Also I'm fat. And I don't care
Libby Clyde you do care , and you know it’s not true to be unhealthy you can’t be happy , because your body not well , you can’t fill well , you don’t have enough confident on your self ! Why you just not go to a diet and gym ?
None of these people understand the root causes of obesity. They COMPLETELY ignore the fact that processed, factory foods (which make everyone fat) didn't exist years ago. It's not ALWAYS laziness that leads to obesity, although it absolutely can be. If you did any research at all you'd discover that a lot of obesity has to do with poverty and the consumption of processed, junk food (which is often all impoverished people can afford and have access to). Seriously, the ignorance surrounding this issue is absurd.
I find it strange that you blame eating crap on poverty because where I go shopping, produce is the cheapest thing in the store. A sack of rice, potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbage, eggs, bananas, celery, apples are dirt cheap if you calculate the cost per meal. The most expensive things are prepackaged processed "junk" food and candy.
I agree with you, Lee, that food prices are ridiculous. Growing up in a family with not much money at all, we could only afford the value range food, which was burgers, chips, fish fingers, etc. However, this also meant we didn't get "treats" such as biscuits or chocolate like the other children we knew did, and we were sent out to play almost every day, we were extremely active, and we were also, because of this exercise, healthy-looking.
I think that children should not, in most cases, be obese. They should also not have adults telling them they're fat if they do happen to be obese. Bullying a child gets you absolutely nowhere, and usually just leads to more emotional issues. Children should be encouraged to go out and play and be taught more about healthy foods in school.
This is the first time I’ve actually agreed with Katie! She made some very valid points in that the parents are in charge of what that child eats and the ones who opted out of being weighed were the heaviest kids. She’s not blaming the kids but blaming the parents! It does cost a fortune and obesity is a problem we can’t be naive to!
For the first time Katie Hopkins has got some sense about something
I agree with Sonia. Mental health is directly linked with being overweight. Telling someone they're fat, ergo affecting their self esteem, is NOT going to help them lose weight. You can tackle an issue as a parent without being a hateful person.
That's why women like you rely on animals for validation and not actual people who can talk, telling what you need to do to improve yourself, and thus give you reason to be self-advocating.
Oh my god the way katie looks at Sonia, if looks could kill!
"There's a Zebra in a wig shouting at me" OMG! I can't deal with the savageness lol
I'm sorry to say but I agree with Katie Hopkins on this issue.
8:48 did Holly go gobble gobble like a turkey at the end there?
she was saying stop-stop-stop-stop-stop really fast
omg haha 😭

So the doctor who told you you were morbidly obese(scientific term) lied to you??
❤️ my heart goes out to you!! This is the thing, where does telling your child to eat less stop. It will get to the point where they have and eating disorder and they will still think that they need to “eat less” to be healthy.
i completely relate to this! i have been bullied by my famiy and told i need to lose weight by doctors since a really young age, and for me that developed into an eating disorder. being that harsh with your kids will only do more harm than good, i'm 16 years old and i have had to go through more than most. i really hope you're doing better
Well done Sonia!
my high school friends mum and sisters used to call her fat all the time..i thought she had gorgeous curves personally..iv seen her recently 5 years on and shes anorexic and seems to really hate herself.. :( soo no calling a child fat will do more harm then good
I disagree.... it’s best to hear it from your family members who love you.
That’s you and that’s not everyone else.
Best to hear your fat from your mother or father
@@jetnight88 but not constantly because it will gradually start affecting you.
Bullied children make broken adults, DO NOT call your child derogatory names, it will cause more problems than it would solve. It’s not being soft, there is a proper way you should speak to children.
Why the hell do they still let her onto public television.
Because she tells the truth and you obviously can’t handle the truth.
I just watch anything with Katie Hopkins in
One Sonia Poulton is still better then a million Katie Hopkins
Totally agree with Katie!
I don't think Katie knows what an eating disorder is
My mum told me I was looking a bit ‘moon faced’, when I was about 14 and to lay off the waffles. I’m so happy she did, it stung for a day or so, then I got on my bike, and ate better, I haven’t been overweight since, that wasn’t trauma, it was love.
I 100% agree with you
Eat waffles still. Just eat them as a treat on a weekend or other days.But I have to disagree about the that’s love. I don’t associate weight with happiness. I am under weight but I still eat junk food. It’s just my metabolism
Same
"Katie you really need to look at yourself!"
*hair flick* "I'm looking"
I'm fat and I'm eating a one pound bag of Doritos as I watch this. My goal is to finish the whole bag in one sitting.
just my thoughts
......katie has no love in her what so ever. stop funding our food system is the answer its not even food dont people get that bit
Katie’s eyes as the other woman is taking is comedy gold
Sonja is absolutely right. Do it with love and kindness, because there is a reason, possibly a psychological reason that child face. Parents need to be shown and supported, give them the knowledge of how they can turn things around for the better. Hopkins method is, crushing, stripping the child of any self confidence they might have left!
“Don’t look at me and expect a reflection”. 😮
the looks Katie gives guests when they're giving their opinion or argument is really, really immature. she does her best to beat down the opposing argument with petty tactics, such as personal remarks and insults. dear God, please leave some ego for the rest of us
7.41 the sighs got me😭😂
finally something that i agree with katie on
of course we need to take peoples feelings into consideration, but we also need to stop wrapping people up in cotton wool.
i blame modern parenting when i was young my mum cooked all my meals no junk food sweets and things like that were a treat not a daily thing . i was not aloud to sit in front of the tv four hours on end my mum was very active and kept me busy playing swing ball tennis walking the dog never had the chance to even get fat in the first place . i dont remember there being many fat kids at school modern parenting DOES NOT WORK there are ways of dealing with it does not have to be hurtful or nasty get of your lazy back sides and do something with your kids play football in the garden go to the park go swimming anything but night after night in front of the tv eating crisps macdonalds kfc places like that should not sever under 16 year olds you have to be over 16 to smoke same thing should apply to junk food
matthew james where did your mother go wrong?
Right! Notice Katie did not blame the kids. She said that the parent is to blame and she is correct. And all the talk about kids sneaking snacks. There were no snacks to sneak when I was a kid, and there was no time to sneak. We were kept busy with chores and homework. And we were chased outside to play. We didn't have cell phones or access to credit cards to call the pizza guy. We were actually supervised. I think the word FAT was just added to sensationalize the interview. I am pretty sure even Katie would not insist on using that word. But she sure as shootin would say---you have put on way too much weight!
Pixie Do you know how damaging telling a kid she’s fat is? As someone who suffers with an Ed because i was builled by my brother that I was so fat when I was on weight? Do you know how horrible it feels to not love yourself, not being able to look at yourself in a mirror. Metabolisms, bone sizes, gender, age all come together to determine a persons fat content
I just found Katie 2 days ago (interview with Candace Owens). She could certainly change her language about fat people in a lot of ways but she is right...even if one or both of the parents are overweight (for whatever reason) they should realize early on that they shouldn't want their children to also be overweight. Make it a priority for ALL of the family to exercise regularly (as a family) and make better choices in what they are eating (especially foods with a lot of sugar).
me, a 5’6 10 year old, getting weighed by my teacher who tells me i’m fat, after not taking into account i’m a whole 4 inches taller than every other child. me now, a 5’8 18 year old, considered ‘normal’ weight by my doctor who considers my height :) i LOVED being considered overweight even though i literally wAsN’T
I love how this particular show sits apposing sides of an argument on a couch together and waits for the scratching to start
Katie Hopkins is hilarious 🤣
Sonia well said - Katie you are a beast ......
It's the parents' fault if their child is fat. There's no counter-argument for that really.
My dad: who ate a lot of junk food but is losing weight
Me: who ate this food and stayed a skinny twig
Katie Hopkins: 😳
I was constantly berated by my parents for being overweight as a child. I now have zero self confidence, zero self esteem and remain overweight. I was never explained to why they called me fat or what I could do to change it, self respect and health. It was just criticism and I’m paying for it every day of my life.
So sorry to hear, I hope you are able to move on one day. I was bullied in school for the way I look and as you know it just obliterates your self esteem and shapes the rest of your life, and creates more problems than it solves.
You can always change it. For some people it's harder to stay slim or a healthy weight but it's possible. Hard work and discipline. I'm no good myself. Putting on weight always but that's my fault.
Keep in mind Katie Hopkins kids have completely disowned her she went on a Mothers Day rant whining about how they are keeping away from her
Same.
That's called bullying.... The reason why children are fat is because the parents feed them the wrong food, don't take them for walks - basically the parents are guilty of it.... Your parents sound awful. Lots of hugs to you x
A school teacher used to call me fat all the time. It hurt my feelings and I stopped eating which scared my mum and grandma half to death when this got out of control. The the kids started calling me fat also.
So being called "fat" stopped you eating? That's exactly what Katie Hopkins is talking about - Result!
Call a child fat when they're a kid even if they lose the weight and become incredibly thin they'll internalise it. Then that's body dismorphia
a zebra in a wig :') ahaha
Definitely agree with katie
The huff at the end 😂
Dunno how Sonia managed to keep her hands off Katie. I'm not a violent person but my fists were clenched all through that lol
You know, I actually agree with Katie for once. I am mildly obese and always have been. I'm 16 and I go out of my way to eat because if you dumb it down by saying 'lets go for a walk' I would say no I'd rather play Xbox. If my parents sat me down and say 'look son, you're fat and we need to sort it out' I believe then I would know it's getting out of hand. Sometimes, we need to be a little blunt to get the job done, and THAT is the way the world works. Just, try not to be too blunt. Okay?
If you want to lose weight you should look to exercise such as cycling and cut out sugar.
Fat and too much food is rarely the issue. Sugar is one of the few things the body cannot deal with the liver gets over loaded and it cause metabolic problems.
Start looking at sugar content for a start. Buy crisps and diluent orange/peach/blackberry that have no (very low) sugar in them.
If you also eat a diet that is high in fiber such as fruit and vegetables you will struggle to get other foods in there.
You could easily cycle for 2 hours and that would be as good as a 2 hour run. Running and the gym is actually quite difficult.
I agree with this but with a younger child (like 10 or younger) easing your kid and teaching them healthy habits seems better than trying shock therapy🙂
Katie is the definition of not nice. She is destroying children’s mental health
I don’t think you should ever call a child fat. I was always called fat as a kid and I’m now bulimic and have been hospitalised 4 times due to it and have awful body image. There’s other ways about telling a child they’re overweight
Am I the only one who actually cannot put their pure hatred for Katie Hopkins into words???
well said Sonia
Kate you are so right;-)
I’m twelve and I think children should be told if they are fat so they can try and make a positive health and it is most definitely not the parents fault
Ok I understand metabolisms and stuff but it is most definitely the parents fault if the child is under 10 if the child is 15 then they are old enough to make the decision for themselves
Fool+mean+angry =KATIE LOL
Using Katie's logic, she should say to her children, "Look. We've created a problem here. You're stupid, I've made this problem. We need to sort it out."
Katie seems like she’s an angry old bird
Remember when Katie Hopkins said, on this program, she hates when parents name their children after geographical places. Then the interviewer asks... isn't your daughter called India?
Parents can't say to their children they are fat because first they should have to admit that they are fat too.
I completely agree with you Sonia, my cousin is coeliac and the coeliac food is very fattening so she got slightly overweight. She got bullied at school about it and now she's anorexic. People telling a child that they're 'fat' without sugarcoating it in anyway does more harm than good. Also a lot of children have a very low metabolism. I know I did. I danced about 5 times a week as a young child and ate regular meals without snacking in between, I had my 5 a day etc so I was very healthy. Just because I didn't look skinny doesn't mean that I was unhealthy and I didn't get fed the correct things because I did.
They are fat, and most of the time it's MUMS fault for making them that way. they want to be friends with thier children rather than disciplining them. You don't see fathers doing this, do you?
Imagine being her child what would life be like damm
I think her kids are lucky. She makes sure they eat well, exercise, and keep on track with their learning. Not allowed to sit in front of the boob tube with loads of junk food.
Pixie Yh but still
I love u Katie, u say what needs being said!!
Treat children, and everyone, with love and respect, they don't want to be fat. Play with them, ration TV, and give them only good food, no money, no fizzy, no vending machines in school, no sweets. It really wouldn't hurt if everyone supported it.
It used to be that way and fatness (which does spoil a child's life) was then so rare. Giving our children money has made them into commercial targets and seriously damaged their health.
The food industry does not care - after all their success in selling sugar to children just makes future custom for Big Pharma, (which turns out to be the same destination for the profits).
Katie Hopkins is brutal. It is up to us to look after our children and protect them from the greed of Big Food, not to blame them when we have neglected our duty.
"zebra in a wig" that' funny...
zebra in a wig....hahahaha!
You can't say "overweight" anymore, because the term has the word weight in it and that may harm the child psychologically. It is agains the law to say overweight in the U.S. You have to say "calorie challenged".
When I was a child, I was called matchstick and my sister was the opposite..... we ate the same meals at home and at school....we got treats at w/ends.
I'm going to say that I see both sides of the debate, but to call a child FAT is soul destroying for anyone, let alone a child...
With that, it's just as harmful to feed children unhealthy food.
I remember many a tea time battle with my own children..."if you don't want to eat your dinner...you can't have anything nice"...
Looking back...I was making their meal the punishment and the yoghurt(nice) the treat...
They are both healthy and fit young men and chose for themselves ( unless I'm cooking) 😉.
I do think we need to support children to make the right choices in life in general...but to encourage them to be healthy is so important and it's easier as schools are very strict with lunch box contents ....
I was a TA in a primary school and I've seen a packet of crisps and a packet of biscuits in one childs box..😖
I would sit in the dining hall to have my my lunch and some children couldn't use knives and forks....
So I do see both sides....but a gentle approach is what is right and the same as not doing anything is wrong.
