        Mamelody and Jamie,
        I actually have to agree with Misha, this is a very idiotic thread. Have you two ever heard of EATING ADDICTION? Some children just can't stop, like 40% of adults in the world can't stop smoking. Food/Eating addiction is a VERY serious problem, and nothing to make fun of, nor is it something to say is inexcusable. Watch what you say, you are stepping WAY over the line.

        Children who feel lonely sometimes seek comfort in food. Just like some adults do. Outcasts often start eating obsessively because food gives them a satisfying feeling, just like drugs give junkies a satisfying feeling.

        This is a very sensitive issue, so I suggest you watch what you say.

      One day you may marry, you may have a child. This child of yours may come to have a weight problem. Whether the source of the problem is physical or emotional, you will not be able to do anything about it, no matter how much you love and how much you care and how competent you may be about health and fitness.

      I wonder, at that time in the future, if you will diss your child as you have dissed parents and children in the here and now.

          No disrespect toward you but I do notice a sense of insecurity within yourself. I hope you were not bullied when you were a child, but by your words there could be a strong possibility, in your pic you do not appear to be to thin yourself so why would you start a thread offending others especially children? Either you are young and cocky or do not have compassion for children. I hope you remember you were once a child yourself so again either you were bullied or you were the bully.

      Guess what? When you have kids, that all goes to hell. Any number of life-saving medications could also cause massive weight gain. When you have more experience in life, it's not likely you'll insist on being so black and white about such issues. If you do remain that way, it would be a shame.

    parents think they are too busy to cook decent meals for their kids. many, many children eat on the way to school and on the way to soccer practice or ballet or yoga or gymnastics.



    or families that are struggling or don't know how to cook just eat junk food. I saw a show yesterday that talked about diabetes becoming or is the number one disease in US. the amount of sugar this generation eats is double what it was a few generations ago.
    too many children are diagnosed early with diabetes now.
    even with genetics, parents can make a difference. it's very sad and alarming to know there are so many parents that don't care about their kids health.

      good points.

      some parents do have to assume responsibility for their children's health, especially when they let them eat unlimited amounts of bad foods and don't let then get any exercise. of course that will cause weight gain and development of bad habits. but for the OP to say that there is "no excuse" sounds like he is passing judgment on overweight children or something. they are just little children and maybe some of them suffer from a medical condition or something, i mean you don't really know...

      for preschoolers, I wrote a hub about healthy lunches.
      it would apply to early primary also.

      one thing to eliminate is soda, completely. kids need to be drinking more water and low fat milk.

        It is certainly cheaper to buy fresh food, but I think we as Americans have gotten so lazy that we no longer want to take the time to go buy it, take it home and then prepare it.  We run such hectic lives on such crazy schedules, we just want to swing through a drive-through and eat it on the way to the next appointment.  It's all about convenience. 

        I think if someone could finally make good healthy food just as convenient, more people would eat it.

    My sisters and I grew up in a household where we were not only chubby, but fat at some point. I started plumping up at 4, and my younger sister as well.

    By 15, I was over 200 lbs (at about 5'2) and knew it was time to take my diet into my hands and now after losing a lot of weight things are better. hmm

    I went through years of torture from kids, parents, etc. which still has left me very insecure. It's something I need to work on.

    Point being, I was used to getting Mcdonalds/Wendys 2 times a week, eating pudding, dunkaroos, cookies...no veggies or fruits.

    I love my parents and  I'm not going to blame them for anything regardless of what they fed me.
    However, I will learn that if I have kids, I WILL feed them healthy. I don't want them to go through what I did.

    I believe, parents ARE responsible most times for fat children.

      Being stockier or having more fat to a degree may just be in genetic makeup, but USUALLY it's just an excuse.

      The UK and USA are known to be the fattiest people around. We also have fattier, crappier diets than other countries who have much less obesity due to healthier food.

      We aren't fat mainly to genes...we are morbidly obese due to a crappy diet in comparison to other countries. And, you can't just say Americans are genetically inclined in general, because Americans are people from every country and culture. Chinese, French, Indian, Black...where in those native countries these people have a different diet. Not genetics.

        I tend to agree here. Although I never had problems with being overweight, I grew up knowing many children who ate poorly...having corndog, hamburger, hotdog, pizza, etc diets...
        I believe genetics plays a role in how our bodies handle poor diets, but in the end, it is the diet that causes the unhealthy condition.

    Diet and exercise is important, but there is also a genetic component. Some people will eat as healthy as they can, but still suffer from weight problems.

    While a lot of the current obesity wave can be attributed to lack of exercise and poor diets, there will always be a genetic strength for some to weigh more than others.

    However, even though they may ahve to work harder, even those with a genetic direction towards being overweight, can still be slim if they eat right and exercise. The calories DO have to come from somewhere.

    Children and Adults have an issue with obesity...this of course leads to diabetes, heart disease and hypertension...it also can lead to worse...such as cancer.

    I believe this is caused by convenience...fast food and computer games...no physical exercise.  Also, to go buy a hamburger at McDonalds does cost a lot less than cooking a healthy balanced meal, I am speaking for 1 person. 

    Unfortunetly, people do not realize that to feed a family of four a healthy balanced meal can be done under $10.00, but to take a family of four out to McDonalds will cost over $20.00.

    I am studing for my Bachelors in Holistic Nutrition and my Associates as a Natural Chef.  I haven't sat down and wrote a hub yet...but Obesity is a big problem and our kids are the losers in this World of convenience.  Watch the video Food, Inc...great watch. smile

    I have not seen anyone state what should be obvious to all of us. Some people can eat what they like and never put on fat. I know, I am one of them.
    I have a friend who can't even enjoy his glass of wine or eat too many apples. If he walks past a food place he puts on weight.
    I have known John for 40 years now, and he has never been a big eater.
    There is some new science that is discovering why. The known symptoms have an underlying cause which science is trying to get on top of.
    For example it is now understood why it is near impossible to cut back on food for many overweight people that has nothing to do with weak character or over indulgence.

    People who can control weight under these circumstances are heroic, and many although making Herculean effort cannot lose much weight before the body gets even more ill.
    My wish is for tolerance and a medical breakthrough is needed and coming.

      Marisa Wrightposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Earnesthub, you're right.  There was a fascinating program on Australian TV last week.  They put a group of thin people on a program where they had to eat twice their normal amount of calories for a month, then they tested how much weight they added.

      Even though they were all on the same program, there were big differences in weight gain.  One guy put on hardly any weight at all - tests indicated he was emitting the excess energy as heat. 

      However, I don't know that it's a good idea to emphasise that fact, because it gives people an excuse. 

      I believe the main reason for the problem is serving sizes.  I gained weight from the moment I set foot in Australia, because serving sizes are so much bigger here than in Britain.  I'm reminded of that, every time I go over there for a visit - and then I forget all over again when I come back home.  And in America, typical servings are much larger again.  We're all eating more than we need at every meal.

      The other thing that's changed is plated meals. When I was growing up, food was served in central bowls and we helped ourselves, which provided some natural portion control.  These days, food is plated up and put in front of you - and parents serve their kids adult-sized meals without thinking.

    IzzyMposted 14 years ago

    That's a very good point Marisa.
    Plating of meals - I've done it all my adult life but as a child we had to help ourselves at the dinner table and there were dirty looks given if you took too much!

  34. earnestshub profile image81
    earnestshubposted 14 years ago

    I agree about the plate size. It varies a lot in Australia, with caucasions like me eating much smaller portions than in the past.
    We have so many people here from other places and we have shared this knowledge too.
    Despite the variety of eating habits we still have many obese kids and people do over-eat here too.

    I am more concerned for the many for whom it is not intake related, which is now being understood.
    I don't think any person who is big without being an over eater should have to cop some of the attitudes expressed here. smile

    I watch a lot of obesity shows on the Medical Channel as well as had a few nutrition classes in college.

    Consistently, on these programs, and my professors (both Nutritionists with PhDs) said that obesity in American *children was 30% due to genetics, and 70% diet, lifestyle, etc...

    I wish I could locate some of the pamphlets they gave with the medical studies to get these results. But, after 2 years, they are gone.

    Thought I'd add that since there is a lot of talk about genetics and fat.

        The classes are. I should have been clearer.

        Last night I watched a teen obesity show from 09' that had a  doctor commentaries who also quoted the 30% genetics, and 70% diet in American children's obesity.

        Anyhoo, it would be odd if all of the sudden genetics problems were causing more obesity even from 2 years ago. And, if genetic problems for obesity has grown I'm sure it can be traced to bad diets from parents, relatives...regardless, diets here is still the main cause of genetics.

        Genetics play a part, but I still feel are a big excuse for parent's having terribly fat children.

    I wish we could help those fat children by discussing their problems here, but alas, they don't even know we exist and will probably have to wait until therapy when they are grown up to find out some of these things.

    You might want to re-think insulting people by name in your profile blurb. Of course that is up to you if it is your decision, even if it is not in your best interest.

    I'm sure you have something valuable to say.

    What a Sick Little Pup you must be Wee Jimmy Troll yikes

    I Suppose your are on an extreme dosage of Diddle Development Pills and can't help yourself smile

    Even though your actions appear to be that of a juvenial primate with an obvious penis envy delemia; I'm afraid I don't accept your intentional defamation. 

    Clearly, you feel secure behind your screen, without any thought of how simple an IP address is able to identify the poster.  You have intentionally posted defamatory remarks which are designed to discredit two more senior members of this site to others here and Search Engines.

    If this BS below is Not Removed from your account Bio within 48 hours.... I will advance proceedings against you.  Can I do that?  Watch and Learn Troll.

    This nutter really does have a problem, with this BS And More than his ability to Spell. lol

      Really? He can tell the bend of a twig from hundreds (or thousands) of miles away? He must have gaydar that rivals the scope of hubble ... or perhaps (and I assume this must be the case) he's suffering from chihuahua syndrome, where the littlest of dogs sees the need to take on the largest of doberman pinschers.

      Last time I checked ... the chihuahua doesn't usually fare well in these episodes, but who am I to know the outcome for sure? smile

    I think some parents may try to control their children by keeping them overweight...so they are "safe" and de-sexualized
