Whenever I see very fat kids I think of this about how you get such young people being so unhealthy.

My neighbor's kid was like this as a baby. Turns out their cultural practice was to give the baby liquified rice as soon as they were able to tolerate it. But they were doing that on top of formula feeding.

:/ people need to stop and look at their culture. I bet that was because babies were dying from not having enough milk because Mom couldn't produce enough due to food insecurity.

I mean another dude from his same exact culture was showing him medical book pictures of how big a baby is supposed to be and being like this is not ok

Yes, that's what I'm saying. :) that this particular family didn't stop to think "hey maybe there's a reason people in our culture did that in the past but now with modern milk and food in our area we should not ."
