I have to agree with the first part. The mom has fat fingers, I don't
know how she got the ring on, but the kid looks like she has normal baby
fat. I don't always find that facial fat translates to body fat. I
shared an office for five years with someone who had a fat face. She
also had mammoth thighs. She complained that people thought she was
fat. I watched her run up and down the soccer field for an hour and a
half. There wasn't much fat there, it just wasn't in the usual places.

My niece was very fat when she was young. I wondered, but once she
started getting her growth it disappeared. She eats like a horse, but
she isn't heavy any longer at nine:

It was very good lemonade.

When they were little, our kids ate (almost) anything they wanted.
Nothing was forced on them (I was forced to eat things, and I hated it).
