[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, in my area they are often some of the most dogged about healthy habits. Its like genes beget weight begets obsession with losing it... I'm sure there are plenty that ignore it but even then this was never taught as a moral failing in my home but I think other cultures or styles of parenting can be borderline abusive about being thin. I do judge that or at least look down on those types of families that point out pounds or make negative comments about total strangers. Its really trashy, and I realize its across financial classes but truly is disgusting to see that behavior in grown adults, like they are missing some compassion or have some need to berate, it sets off alarm bells when I hear such comments.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s parents not feeding healthy food, not teaching good habits and kids who don’t have enough exercise. More of a parent failure. [/quote]

My kid does sports 3-5 days a week and other activities that are physical and is still overweight.  We eat very healthy at home and do low carb/sugar.  We do some sweets and processed food but very limited.  And, they don't eat big portions.[/quote]
