I think they are insane, surely it's the parents job to ensure that their child has a healthy diet and good eating habits.

oh my god that is the most stupid thing i have ever heard
if he`s an IVF baby then shouldn`t they be looking to give him the best possible start in life, not diabetes and stuff
personally it makes me sick when you see all the kids in mcdonalds on a saturday (it`s one of my guilty pleasures) and it`s quite clear they shouldn`t be indulging in burgers. i used to have to catch buses in a morning and you used to see children eating crisps and having coke for breakfast.
i personally think that if a child is brought up eating a sensible balanced diet it becomes a habit .
