My Arm's Too Fat to Box with God

So today comes the shocking news that American kids are getting too fat for their car seats. For some reason age three seems to be the magic number. Judging from the kid in the picture, that's the age most kids start giving up the bottle and chowing on supersized fries. My question is this: how can any parent look at a child this size and not think there is a problem? And if you can get arrested for not buckling your kid into a safety seat, shouldn't the same rule about endangering the welfare of minor apply when you drag him into a McDonalds every day and call a McNugget dinner?
