[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this mostly genetic or over eating? I am constantly surprised by the number of overweight young children that I see when I am at my kids elementary school. I sincerely do not remember kids being overweight when I was growing up. My kids eat well 70% of the time but the other 30% of the time they eat like kids - junk food, sweets, etc. but they are all extremely thin. Probably genetics? They are active in sports and aren't into video games but I assume its mostly genetics. [/quote] OP here, i think the genetics make him eat more? Our other kids dont have the same issue and their hunger cues are very different (the other kids also actually eat way more sweets for ex. in terms of % of their diet but are still rail thin).[/quote]
