Now this is definitely something for all those model moms to cheer about. You can now have thin babies as well?

Gasp! It's a dream come true, isn't it?

It seems that now, scientists, who were probably hired by some anorexic mom who wants her fetus in tip top shape, have discovered baby formula, minus the fat, which may make them obese.

It does this by suppressing hunger in babies. Sounds to me like the equivalent of whey powder.

I can already see babies comparing fat percentages and teasing the fatty for having more than 10% fat.

I've a vivid imagination.

Fine, I do understand that we are on the verge of being a world of fatties, and I'm probably there already, but to need baby formula to cope with obesity? I think we're reaching for it just a tad here.

Why not look into exercise as well as nutrition. Sure I'll admit that some babies may have a slow metabolism, thus the need for the hunger suppressant foods like this, but the fact that parents continue to push their kids in trolleys and carry them around on their backs  in some sort of backpack looking device....sure, it helps the parents stay thinner, but you're making your child less enthused about exercise.

I understand that some parents may resent this, because they want to keep the child safe. Because letting a kid walk around a supermarket is dangerous with all the kidnappers lurking around the corner at some K-Mart or Carrefour or Makro or Tesco or wherever the heck you go shopping.

But it isn't helping your kid.

Let the kid run around, it'll be good cardio for the parents as well.

But who'll watch over them? some parents asked. Well, there's a kid play area being watched by attendants, who should be responsible enough to take care of them. And I'm sure CCTV's are there to help as well.

So please, dearest parents and future parents of newborns. You don't need a baby formula formulated like breast milk to keep your baby healthy. If that were the case, 20-year-olds would still be sucking on their moms to prepare for the next bodybuilding contest.
