"I have two sons... both boys" ;)

These Moms are not making it better for their children...they're probably making it worse

I don't think it's the parents fault that their kids are fat. I believe grandparents, uncles, aunts, and people around the kids are guilty too because children get junk food from them or eat with them.

Mom! why are you calling me fat!?

My God, I'm slow. :P

I hate how they're all 'geez I don't know how this happened.' It's their fault if their kid is obese because they probably feed them junk food! It's not like the kid can just buy healthy food, they have to eat whatever their parents stock at home.

the parents just need to stop buying junky food and make sure they are not snacking and make them bring lunch instead of buying in the cafeteria.most people gain alot of weight buy eating in the cafeteria

i think its the mothers falt because,they are the one's who r buying all the junkyy food for their children!. i think the should buy like 100 calorie food snacks only allow one 100 calorie food pack per day. feed them veggies and eat junky food in moderation.and when u do eat junk food dont eat alot and go over bored then u will gain wait. for fat people today need to stop complaining about how they are going to loose weight and just do it !!!!!

I overate a bit, and had some snack. Didn't eat much fast food, but when it comes to it I believe I gain most of my weight by drinking way too much 2% milk. I drank at-least a half a gallon a day. I drank pop to, but drank more milk than I did all beverages together. I would recommend to every parent to no only limit junk food intake, but milk intake. Even 1% if your child is a milk lover like me.

Umm.. hello your the parent take the freaking cookies away from the child! Seriously the just world sucks.. I can't believe people complaining about all the food their kids eat and how they are fat, while there are starving children who would be more than grateful for a single meal.
