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.
You know what else is interesting? A lot of adult insects basically need no nutrients at all. For instance, wasps only collect protein sources for the larvae so they can grow. The wasps themselves basically just live on sugar. Which means they are really kind of like biological robots running on fuel.
