Controversial Foster Care for Obese Kids Idea

The doctor who came out and publicly said (and was very brave for doing so, even I knew he was going to face a ton of backlash) that obese children should be put in to foster care until the problem is resolved, is facing quite a bit of outcry right now.

And who can blame the parents and parental advocates who are saying this is downright insulting? It really is, quite frankly, and it shows that Americans have quite a bias when it comes to obesity and we tend to be judgemental, as well as quite unforgiving, blaming the parents.

Some of us even go as far as to say it is child abuse. But what if the child’s parents really did watch what their children ate, and their child had some sort of metabolic disorder? Is that really fair?  Not that this is always the case, but there are loving, nurtering homes that have overweight children in them, and it’s not always a case of poor parenting or neglect as most people tend to conclude.

The pediatrician who stated the idea about foster care for obese children only meant that it would be the better option when it came to extreme cases, where a child’s life was genuinely in danger and the parents did not seem to be doing the right things for the child to get the dangerous weight under control.

He also said that, in explaining his view, he meant that it would be the best option when compared to other extreme measures such as weight loss surgery and other invasive and even more morally offensive means of helping the child become healthy again.

He thought that perhaps the state should be given rights to take the child away and put them in foster care until the child could re-learn their eating habits and safely be released back into the care of their parents.

Childhood obesity is quite a touchy topic. It’s touchy because many times the parents of the children who are obese are the target of most of the criticism, because they are their guardians. As we all know, children are children because they are not old enough or wise enough to make many decisions for themselves.

For that reason, the parents are expected to come in and make certain decisions for them and to put restrictions around things like behavior, bed time, food choices, and education. It’s just one of the many things a parent is responsible for.

The “Other White Meat” Can Be Soooo Good!

I’ll be honest. I was never a fan of pork as a kid. Whenever my mom would make pork chops, hot dogs, sausages or anything else that was remotely pork like, I would stifle a gag (lest I be whacked over the head with a spoon).

As I grew up though, I got to have pork “the other white meat” as it was dubbed in a very successful ad campaign that still lives on today, in different, more delicious ways, and I grew to really appreciate the flavor.

I love pulled pork, sausages, and all kinds of other pork cuts of meat. But what really surprises me is that I have found a way to really enjoy pork chops. My husband actually grilled them today and they turned out moist and juicy, not dry as a bone and tough like they usually do.

What we did was marinate them in a sundried tomato marinade which also had garlic and all other kinds of savory spices in it for about half a day .This isn’t a lot for us, as we usually will marinate foods like steaks for a full day or two before we eat them, so we really didn’t have high hopes for how they would turn out.

We bought the thickest cut pork chop the local butcher sells, and I think that helped as well. The thinner cuts we were getting before probably just dried out too much when we were grilling them before, because we were unknowingly over cooking them and losing all the savory juices that build up in pork.

There was a bone in htese ones too, a T bone, so I think that buying them with a bone in also helped us get the moistness higher.  My hubby cooked them on the gril for about five minutes on each side, then gave them both one final searing on the each side on high.

Woowee, those were the best pork chops I ever had! They were moist, flavorful and tender. Fell right off the bone, as they say. Best of all, they are low fat yet taste like they’re not when they are cooked right. Think we got ourselves a regular monthly dinner now in this one!
