Eating McDonalds 4xs week and then loading up on fatty salads and fries don't ever help things. Most kids refuse to eat veggies and their stupid parents say, "Ok, billy only eats hot dogs". In my home, Billy will eat what I feed him. I was a very pickie child. I would only eat my mother's bread and some sausage. I could eat whole loaves of that bread. But you know, I am very slim with no weight problem. Weight is not related to food.

^^^True I know it's mostly lifestyle and habit, too. I have a Viet friend who eat s and eats and eats..constantly. I am not joking. She keeps food in her purse and her car and is always chewing in something. Yet she is very thin. The foods are high in slow-burning carbs and low-fat and low-sugar. She tends to snack on dried seafoods, nuts, fruits, fresh spring rolls, spices/herbs, soups, etc and consumes probably 3,000+Kcal/day with little true exercise. She says it's the combinations of foods and spices that keeps her metabolism going. I was at my thinnest(8%bodyfat) when I was hanging out with her 24/7.

IN the US, it's usually due to fast food not parents cooking. Even the fattiest cooking doesn't create the piglets you see before you. True, but the money to buy fast food has to come from somewhere. Most 12-year-olds usually don't have enough money to eat out three times a day unless their parents provide them with it. Also, I'm sure plenty of parents order home junk food instead of cooking food themselves. Hence, I still think it's correct to blame the parents for fatty children.

On Maury they used to show alot of obese babies like 2 year olds who weigh over 100 pounds.These toddlers who are not even in pre-school yet they weigh more than most full grown adult supermodels.When I saw the parents I just wanted to smack some damn sense into them.The parents of obese babies are also obese themselves.

^^^They apparently have asevere metabolic disorder where they are never satiated. it's really sad. Something to do with the hypothalamus so they eat and eat and are just hungry and miserable. Normal babies would become sick and refuse to overconsume like that.
