I see this as unfair and irresponsible. As Parents, we can make or break our kids in this area. If we allow them to become so big that they become diabetics, or have high blood pressure in their teen years, I don't see this as godly or humane.

I completely agree.

I get a little weary when people consider the honest truth an attack.

People only feel attacked when their standing with God is called into question because they're overweight. When it is assumed they are sinning because they're overweight. Some are, some aren't. Many overweight people are trying to lose weight.
That's why we keep pointing out that God was specific about what the actual sin is. Stuffing ourselves. Currently being obese might be sin, it might not. And some gluttons are not currently overweight. It will probably catch up with them eventually, but it might take awhile. Gluttony is the sin.
I think most everyone is aware of the dangers of being overweight, and yes, many people need to take that much more seriously than they do.
Everyone needs to take care of their health. I have a very slim friend who lives on Pepsi and Snickers. That's just as unhealthy as being overweight.
