I am thin, and my kids are healthy. They play sports and they do so very well. 
No one has explained why the people like myself and the war survivors that I know, who were food "deprived" as kids are not obese now. Now one. I know tons of holocaust survivors in my family. They saw starvation as kids. I know others from my country who are my age who did not get fed the quality of food we see, and they are not fat. I guess they aren't food insecure. [/quote]

People born after the Dutch "hunger winter" (1944) have been subject to multiple health problems throughout life; they have been dying early.  The latest surprising findings are that their children may also be affected. Audrey Hepburn survived the Hunger Winter and looked slim and elegant all her life, but she had multiple health problems and finally died at 63. [/quote]

To the first poster here: you describe anecdote.  The person below you describes data.

The answer is not a response to the question about food insecurity. This person wants to point out that life expectancies are lower for the starved, as they are for the obese. [/quote]
