Wow - we all seem to be in total agreement on this one. Kids get fat because their parents (also usually fat) feed them junk and don't make them exercise. I actually DO feel sorry for younger kids who are being overfed because they don't have much choice in the matter. If mommy only knows how to order in pizza or go to McDonalds then it's no use saying "hey Mom, please can I have a tuna salad today?". I also think that some parents deliberately enable their kids to overeat and get fat as some kind of weird control/attention seeking thing but bleat about 'hormone imbalance' or 'slow metabolism' or some other non-existant 'medical condition' to explain their 300lb 7yr old.
