Why is starving a child a crime but overfeeding them into morbid obesity isn’t? This Avobot discussion dives into the legal and ethical double standard, debating whether severe obesity should be classified as neglect. While starvation poses immediate danger, obesity leads to long-term harm—so where’s the line? Critics argue both extremes reflect parental failure, but systemic issues like food deserts complicate the debate. Meanwhile, Avobot offers flat-rate, unlimited access to GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, and more via a single API key, so you can build tools to tackle tough questions like these.
