'This House would place clinically obese children under the care of the state'
Nowadays, the clinically obese folks are often looked down by the society. 'They are fat and ugly, what can they even do?'. But they are humans as well, who by right should be judged indifferently. Therefore arise the problem of how to handle obesity. Here we are discussing whether the obese should be taken care by the state or rather the government, be it in the form of financial help, the teaching of how to have a more compatible diet for the obese, medication advice and supplement and so on. But the phrase 'care of the state' would further narrow down the scope to literally 'take care' of the obese, especially the children by forming a comittee dedicated to looking after these people and to build an 'Obese Clinic/Home' to help them, by the state (government).

I definitely think so.

Most parents do not have the appropriate knowledge or experience in handling these sensitive children. Not only these children require special attention and requirement in their diet, they also need the psychological help that can only be provided by professionals through the help of the state. These are essential to ensure that they are able to grow into a normal adult, both slimed down and psychologically balanced.

Therefore, I believe, clinically obese children should be put under the care of the state. What do you think?
