Worried for friends kids

Before I start she is an amazing mom who loves her kids but their diet is deplorable. They’re aged 4 and almost 2. Both parents suffer with being quite large so I worry the kids may too. I know kids can be fussy but this seems more. I had them over the weekend and the food list I was left with was
Breakfast:
Frosties and milk

Lunch:
Pre made pancakes heated up and butter

Dinner:
Sausage and chips

Tea:
Waffles

Snacks:
Yogurt, biscuits, lollipops.

The 4 year old refuses to eat any sort of vegetable, and won’t eat anything you could sneak veg into. It’s literally chips and sausages and if he’s feeling adventurous he might try a chicken nugget.

Yesterday I made a yummy dinner with veg and potato, and they both literally spat it out, the oldest child crying for a “real dinner”. A real dinner being chips and sausages. He’s given adult portions (a bag of chipper chips and two sausages) and has takeaway multiple times a week. The baby is on the exact same path. She doesn’t seem to think it’s an issue and has even argued with the oldest child’s school over him not being allowed certain food for lunch arguing he won’t eat anything else and she won’t have him hungry. He won’t even eat French toast without it being smothered in chocolate. I don’t mean to judge but I love these kids and am scared for them.

God, their diet doesn't sound great but saying you are "scared" for them is ridiculous. You say you don't mean to judge, but you clearly are. With friends like you who needs enemies.

Just say you're obese

You suggested contacting her Health Visitor because "children have been taken into care for extreme versions of this".

you seem like you should spend time doing anything else than being a scold on a site where a woman is doing her community a service by caring for the youth
