Age 14, female, 5'4'', 141 lbs - i think that it all depends on the age of the kid. if they are a preteen or a teen, then the parents don't have very much say over what they eat or don't eat. but, like in this story, the parents choose what the kid eats for every meal except for snack which the parents let them either eat or not.

Age 13, female, 5'1'', 130 lbs - I think that this is unfare because it depends if it is the parents fault.
