Obesity: the parents fault or the child's

One of the topics discussed in Pinkwasser's discussion days. Is obesity the parents fault for not teaching there children good eating habits or not providing them with healthy food choices in their home. Or is it the child's fault for refusing to eat the healthy food their parents give them and going to buy junk food. I think it's both. Some parents try to get their children to eat their vegetables and fruits but the child won't eat it so the parents can't force feed them so what to do. They can have all good snacks in the house and even make their kids lunch but doesn't mean there going to eat it. The parents can even try to teach their child good eating habits, doesn't mean there going to use them. At some point though the kid can learn how to be healthier even if their parents are not, they can make their own food, and eat the food they want to eat. They can take control and exercise everyday. A gym pass isn't needed to exercise so they can go on a hike or a run.

  1. I feel like the parents fault if there obese before the age of 12 , but after that i think it both the child because it old enough to know what the limit is and the parents fault for buying all the products that are bad.
