[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many population-level annd environmental factors at play and it’s a vicious cycle.

While the government needs to do more, there is an element of personal responsibility too. Parents used to spend more of their free time cooking but now they spend it on Insta or TikTok because the take out / packaged food is “good enough”. Only those who prioritize nutrition make the effort. Cooking and eating at home 5-6 days a week needs to be more normalized.[/quote]

AND we need to look at why people who do cook at home and are health obsessed STILL have kids who are overweight due to environmental factors messing with the gut and metabolism, particularly plastics and medications.[/quote]

Never seen this.  This is very uncommon. [/quote]

+1. I can't think of a family like this either. [/quote]

NP: I know several families like this actually. Almost always, [b]one or both parents are genetically prone to be heavier or have a history or being overweight [/b](and often are working very hard to fight genes, often with good success)…yet have passed those genes to their child. [/quote]

Yes of course. I thought we were talking about families where this wasn't the case. I know plenty of families where the parents are not overweight (and weren't) but the kids are and it's due to diet and lifestyle. [/quote]
