That article seems to feature only parents who are trying and struggling to control their hungry kid's eating (like the mom who got upset that their kid was allowed seconds from the school lunch line? I have a hard time understanding that). It makes me wonder if I am the only person in the world who would just let my kid eat as much as they wanted to eat indefinitely so long as they were making healthy choices and had no ill effects.
I suppose the reality is that the people who do the controlling are generally the worried ones, and the people who don't are not seeing a problem, so they aren't showing up in BBC stories :p
