what are we doing to our children

I know that I am going to upset a lot of people with this position. And, I want to be clear that I am saying this from the stand point of having us wake-up and look at what we are doing to our children.
Why is it that over-feeding our children poison in the form of “food” is considered different than other forms of child abuse? Why is ensuring that they have no home (and by that I mean, Earth) to grow up in, any different than abandonment?
A new study has been released that says 6 out of 10 children are now on medication for Type 2 Diabetes, what used to be known as Adult Onset Diabetes. It is estimated that a child born today is going to have a mortality rate 30 years younger then their parents. Yep. A parent may outlive their child simply based on what a child is born into now; obesity, pollution, plastic poisoning, lack of water.
I cannot even imagine the psychological trauma inflicted on a child because they are overweight. I can’t imagine the fear a child lives with wondering if the planet will be here for them. And yet, we allow it as if it is normal and acceptable. If it causes early death and physical harm to your child, is it not abuse?
I really am saying this as an inquiry. And, maybe it is okay if I ruffle your feathers, if it makes you think about this. I do not see the difference in the physical and psychological aspects of the two forms; one may be violent, but don’t they both do equal damage?
