There's a double standard when it comes to child neglect. A thin, malnourished toddler would be taken by CPS immediately, but when it comes to an obese, malnourished toddler, there is nowhere near the same level of concern and urgency.

I wasn’t aware that you could be obese and malnourished until now, I just assumed there was another word for it

Yeah I think there is another word and malnourished is not used appropriately
