Well duh! Just walk into any Wal-Mart and you'll see the evidence waddling before your eyes.
What about kids of obese dads?
Hey. I still think that "diet" soda makes people fat --look at all the diet soda that they drink.
No, I don't believe that but it shows how we need to be cautious in evaluating what causes conditions.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
I am an obese person with 3 children. Although I am having a devil of a time breaking my own terrible eating habits, I am teaching my children the right way to eat and actually teling them that mommy is not eating healthy all the time, but that I hope they can do better than I can. The older ones know how to read food lables for sugar and fat and eat their fruit and veggies like they should. No fast food or soda.
They are 9, 8 and 5 years old and I can see ribs on all of them! Their doctor says they are just right for weight.
It would be easy to give them tater tots and hot dogs for meals, but it just isn't the right thing to do.
Bad eating habits tend to run in families.
Fat people have always urged me to eat, even those who aren't my relatives. I can understand what it must be like to be raised by one. Like they say, nothin' says lovin' like somethin' from the oven. Food=love.
