You could make the same argument against any definition of neglect.

I think that this cutoff point is in there to make sure that the law gets evenly applied. Otherwise CPS would have to make a judgement call and you can't guarantee that everyone gets equal treatment that way.

Why stop there? It is obvious that poor diet and lack of exercise is much worse. Maybe if your kid can’t run a certain speed or has a bad BMI you get the jackboots at your door threatening to lock both you and your kid up.
