Not sure what an invasive diet is, but once a child is obese from lack of prevention, the whole family needs a dietary change, unless the kid has been tortured with food. Prevention is always the best medicine, but when that fails, you need treatment (which is dietary modification=diet)!

when i say invasive diet, i mean one that would normally be LESS than the healthy caloric intake of a child/person that is not obese.

i am not against invasive diets, but i think that invasive diets show a failure on someone's part to improve the quality of the nutrition.. because obesity really isnt an overnight thing. intervention is possible, and necessary, which is why i support healthy meals in schools. :)

some people (including myself) and a lot of children as well, have faster metabolisms that allow them to use all the excess caloric intake. this in no way means that eating anything is good for you.. and when you reach adulthood, your metabolism goes through a MAJOR change, and usually slows down quite a bit. :) don't get used to eating whatever you like whenever you like... it took me 50 extra pounds and a near discharge from the military to learn my lesson.
