The food enviorment is the result of bad information over the last half century. Read Good Calories/Bad Calories to learn about the bad science that has existed for the last half century.

ok simple solution, get your kids in a martial arts of exercise class (i do judo) on week days try to keep it light, you can eat food thats not health just dont eat too much then on week ends let yourself go, let them play videogames, or better yet buy em a skateboard, exercise is exercise even if he might get hurt maybe even try to get him into bodybuilding (well thats how i go, im not a parent kid)

yeah, most countries don't really have fat people much, but you go to the UK or the US and they're everywhere. I work in switzerland sometimes and it's very hard to find a fat person anywhere because they're culture is so much better orientated towards health and respecting yourself.

I bet he only gave it a month before giving up. Fatness is very much linked to depression and lazyness, and the feeling that you can't acheive anything

I watch less TV in an entire week than many do in a single day. I have done some things that can scare couch potatoes, namely riding a bike on a busy street. When I was at my old home, I often ate figs, apricots, and plums which grew in the front and back yards. This is in Sunnyvale, CA, which used to be orchards. On potluck days, there was a brief (5 minute) harvest to prepare.

the parents should have been educated by THEIR parents...I am not gonna buy the excuse that the parent isn't to blame for their kid's downfall just because they had a bad childhood themselves...NOPE sorry...I know MANY people who had absent mothers or alcoholic/abusive parents who parent their own kids perfectly. They figured it out, and I have come to the conclusion that the people who remain bad parents are just flat out lazy and irresponsible and truly do not 100% love their childeren.
