Childhood obesity

[mummy of many]

I also agree with what you have said Sushee & Gudism,I?m overweight and all my children are well within the normal weight range,just because you see fat parents does`nt mean we all stuff ourselves or our kids with junk food every day,some people can actually have medical conditions that make then gain weight, I have a liver condition!

I didn't read anything in Chalalan's post about fat parents?? I think she was saying she doesn't mind if the parents want to put whatever they want in their bodies (whether they're fat or thin) but they should be more responsible for what they feed their children. Of course there are some kids with medical problems, everyone knows that, obviously she wasn't referring to them.

I agree, parents of all shapes and sizes should be responsible for what their kids eat (as they are responsible for the other areas of their life) and childhood obesity is a problem sadly I think we just need more education about what is a good diet.
