Chinese Parents Overfeed Kid And Wonder Why He's Fat

At 132 pounds, a three-year-old Chinese boy is already five times the size of a normal child his age. When Lu Hao was born he weighed just 5.7 pounds. However, from the time he was three months old he began to gain weight rapidly.

According to the boy's parents, no matter how hard the family restricts Hao's diet and pushes him to exercise more,  the toddler has still managed to put on 22 pounds in the past year.

The three-year-old toddler eats a staggering three bowls of rice when he sits down for a family meal. According to Hao's mother Chen Yuan, "We have to let him be as if we don't feed him he will cry non-stop."  Hao hates walking and each day his mother takes him to kindergarten on a motorcycle.  "He is quite happy that I could ride him to kindergarten instead of walking him there," said Yuan.

To push Hao to do more sports, the family installed a basketball hoop in the yard and often take him to swim in a local river.  But according to his parents, the exercise just makes him hungrier and results in him putting on more weight.

"We took him to three hospitals and one said he has a tumor in the head, while the other two said there is no tumour in the head,' said his father Yuncheng. "Doctors said his hormones are at a normal level. It's hard to know why he could be so big."

Note from the Daily Dude:  Maybe it's because you FEED HIM SO GODDAM MUCH!
