This is already starting to become a burden on healthcare and will only get worse as they get older and mor eproblems develop.

Yes, but that trauma might cause the child to lose weight, thereby solving the weight issue.

Nobody likes your fat kids.

Just pick one of the parents and srick them in jail for a month.

Eh, it's putting a bandaid on a much bigger social problem. You might help some kids (and traumatize plenty as well), but you're not fixing the real issues.

So banning them from restaurants will help, right?

Standard government practice.

No...def. not.

Perhaps, instead of sending them into foster care, we should rotate them out with children from countries beset by famine.
Bring the stick figures here, let the parents fatten them up, and then rotate their formerly fat children back to them.
We can solve obesity and world hunger with one program!

No, less kids should be all together

Would the state remove children that parents allowed to smoke? Pretty much the same thing here. But of course government removing children from their parents seems to go wrong more often than not. Perhaps there is a much better solution out there...
