Lol. If white privilege is the problem in this discussion, then I think we need to shut this whole forum down. Which pregnancy care provider to chose, birth advocacy, IVF, which school to send our kids to...may as well throw the towel in on all of those white privileges as well, because after all, somebody has it worse than us somewhere and they don't have the choices we do.

I honestly do not think the *majority* of the people who are contributing so grossly to the ever rising obesity epidemic here and in other countries are doing so because they live 100km from a library, have never seen a supermarket, haven't eaten a home cooked meal, don't know what a vegetable is and are so disadvantaged in every single way that to dare judge them or assume they could do better or try harder is a moral crime. I feel like the amount of 'what ifs' being thrown around now is almost getting laughable. I'm sure we're all smart enough to understand that yeah, there are going to be barriers for some people, more for some than others. But let's be real, most people feed their kids crap on a daily basis as the main part of their diets because they're ignorant by choice, or lazy. If you rounded up all the people in any given supermarket with trolleys FULL of junk food, as in, that was a weekly shop, not just part of one, and assessed whether they had any way of improving themselves and their children's diets, I'm very confident the majority of them would have a myriad of options open to them that they choose not to access. Hell, if there are people like Mark Mathabane, who can pull themselves through a horrific childhood of poverty and rise up through apartheid and become still become successful people in life, I'm sure people living in Australia can learn how to adequately feed and nourish themselves and their children
