Flinders University has proven that parents of children under 11 are solely responsible for their children being overweight.
Well duh!
I am a big fatty and, while they have MrX’s genetics on their side, to be sure, my kids don't eat the crap I eat and they are heaps healthier and have much better habits than I do.
I still remember a study that told us how children of skinny parents were inclined to be skinny, children of one fat & one skinny parent had a halfway chance of being either, & children of two fat (yes, I know, but ‘overweight’ takes a lot of typing) parents are more likely to have fat kids.
BUT…the pets of fat couples are something like 90 per cent more likely to be overweight as well.
Nature…or nurture? You decide.
