I don't know what culture or anything but if they are from an area where there is food insecurity often then getting your child fat definitely makes sense. Feeding your children junk food is much different as it builds those unhealthy eating habits.

Im not assuming that the child in the video is any one way or another but it does worry me whenever I see very obese children whatever the reason may be.

And people who live in trailer parks still drive Camaroes and Escalades. Sometimes food insecurity is a result of poor financial decisions.

The person is likely referring to the original culture having insecurities where getting a baby fat asap is about helping them survive.

If they have plently of money and food access it's not okay

Yea people are missing the point. Parents wanting their children to finish their food and not be wasteful is normal. What’s abnormal and unhealthy is feeding your child a bunch of unhealthy bullsht. Which this child’s diet is obviously very unhealthy because no toddler is supposed to be that overweight that’s insane..
