In the footage, the boy draws attention as his father struggles to lift him from a high chair.

He then walks around the restaurant, further catching the eye of other diners. At one point, he’s seen eating the last bits of rice with his hands.

According to the caption, the boy weighs 26kg and reportedly finished an entire pack of nasi ayam goreng by himself.

Netizens raise concerns over boy’s health

While some commenters remarked that the chubby boy looked adorable, others expressed worry about his health.

Many noted that obesity at such a young age could make him more susceptible to fatigue and illness.

Some netizens shared personal experiences, mentioning the health challenges they faced as adults with obesity, such as breathing difficulties, and hoped the boy could avoid similar struggles.

A few also expressed concern about the possibility of the boy facing bullying due to his size as he grows older.

They also noted that although he seems cute now, his parents could unfairly blame him for being overweight and lazy as he grows older.

Many urged the parents to seek medical advice and consider a more balanced diet for their child, saying that while he may appear cute now, it’s important to address his weight early to prevent potential health issues in the future.
