Noticing very chunky young kids

You are not in control of other people's bodies. Spending so much time worrying about it is voyeuristic and gross

It affects everyone. In the long-term health of our country and in the wasted tax dollars and healthcare resources spent on obesity-related diseases. If you don't understand that obesity, like smoking and alcoholism, affect everyone, then you are a fool.

Just go to Walmart if you’re wondering how obesity works. Fat parents, fat kids. Their carts are full of junk. It’s sad.

Wholesome meals are nice but they, or their lack, aren't the reason that some kids are skinny and some kids are thick. It's partly genetics and food abundance (or a coping mechanism for abuse) but it's mostly an endocrine/metabolism issue caused by environmental factors, particularly pervasive antibiotics but also microplastics and probably others.

Agree and also, trauma and stress are huge determinants.

Holy cow you people are insane, no wonder we have the obesity epidemic we do. No, the average overweight elementary-aged kid has not been exposed to enough trauma, abuse, or “endocrine disrupters” in their 8 short years to cause their obesity. It’s the parents. Clearly! As evidenced by this thread.

Endocrine disrupters are everywhere. But the solution is the same (clean diet, minimize exposure generally).

Find me a study that endocrine disrupters are the cause of an entire very recent and new generation of childhood obesity. No one is denying they’re real, you are however vastly vastly overstating their impacts on children in an attempt to…what? Reduce your culpability as a parent? Shameful

It is well known, and considered a feature rather than a big, that antibiotics in agricultural use increases the size of animals. Antibiotics are routinely used prophylactically as a precaution and to make up for poor living conditions, and as a bonus, the animals are larger, making them more profitable. Win win. After the animals are slaughtered, those antibiotics remain and are then consumed by people, including children.

The antibiotics probably work to increase size by altering the gut biome but it isn't well studied because no one cares that much.

Children are given antibiotics from birth and throughout childhood for a variety of reasons. But even those who never take antibiotics are still consuming them every day.

Even if this were true, it doesn't explain why all of the thin kids and adults who still eat all of this stuff are thin. So, it's not this.

This is one of the big differences between conventional and organic, fwiw.

Look at kids in high schools today. They are, across the board, somewhat larger than we were as teens. There is a reason, and it is environmental. Sure, the venti frapps don't help but why are kids even getting those? Because their bodies are larger and want more calories/sugar.

My teen daughters are the same size I was in high school (thin). We don't eat organic and they get the occasional starbucks treat and fast food meal. So, it's not that.

I'm not sure why, except that you're so convinced of your own parental superiority, that you think every poster suggesting factors that may contribute to the obesity epidemic has overweight kids?

Pretty sure I'm not the only one who doesn't. But I hope your rants about "culpability" are making you feel better?

Okay, problem solved! Your DCs are thin so no other child matters. Phew, that was easy!

Any posters without overweight kids who are nevertheless coming up with these absurd excuses are most likely your typical disingenuous virtue-signalers.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. Blaming it on “endocrine disruptors” and food additives just removes responsibility from families. Talk about giving up! If food additives were making people fat, everyone would be fat. Use critical thinking skills.

The irony of telling people to use critical thinking when this statement does not even pass third grade level science knowledge.

This is really really basic: different environmental factors impact people differently based on their genes and the combination of exposures and experiences they have had. This is stuff you could learn with less than an hour of research required.
