Overweight kids? .....?

Question

why do overweight kids parents keep giving them junk food and bad and fatty foods. if you know your child is overweight wouldn't you try to make them more healthy. its ridiculous. i cant understand why you can't make them healtheir. and don't say they won't eat it and they dont like it because they have to eat what you give them. i don't think their is an excuse

Answer 1

good parents would not do that

Answer 2

Lack of knowledge about good nutrition and a very limited budget causes a lot of very poor health behaviors-healthy food may be more expensive.

Answer 3

answer is easy. its cause the parents are lazy and dont want to take the time to cook up a real meal for the kid that is nutritious and instead go to mcdonalds. worst of all is that they baby their d**n kids all their lives and don't recognize that theyre is a problem cause they're in denial. I'm 17 and i remember when i was 5 and weighed well over 150 and i only lost that weight because i got my tonsils removed. i remembered that i got that fat because i was a loser that always said gimme gimme and my parents didnt have the balls to say no. I got fat again when i was 12 and decided that i wanted to lose it so i cooked my own food and worked out cause my parents didnt wanna do anything. POINT BEING: parents who have overweight kids shouldnt be having kids. thats just saying youre a BAD parent

Answer 4

they spoil their children to much  and just want them to have a good  childhod but when they are 13 or 12 and fat the get rlly  miserable and would wish their parents didn't spoil them as much  

Answer 5

why is being fat so bad. he.ll i'm a big guy about 350lbs and I'm 6'2" and I'm happy where i am. and before you start with he whole your a fat lazy slob that eats nothing but junk all the time. that is not true its true that I'm fat yes but i get my exercise in two or three times a week ill start out walking at 10am and not come in until 5pm or 6pm. and no that's not from the front door to my mailbox and back that's all around my small town I probably go through 4 or 5 pairs of shoes a year. h**l if these husky kids would get out and exercise instead of sitting in air condition all day in front of the tv yes they may lose a few pounds h**l ive learned a bit from tv. but all fault don't lay on the children's shoulders some goes to the parents. i know my mom cooked twice a day three times when she don't work or we didn't go to school. but some of these parents have these kids so tightly scheduled or the parents are too busy working the kids will substitute the love from their parents with the friend that will never leave them (FOOD)

Answer 6

Parents mostly buy their kids junk food because they don't have the time to cook for their kids!

Answer 7

Maybe some parents are not aware that their children are overweight so they keep giving their children a junk food and fatty foods.

Some parents in today's generation is having the hard time to discipline their children when it comes to foods. Also, parents are so busy to prepare a healthy foods so they end up bring foods from fast food.

Answer 9

Believe it or not some parents envy thier children and want to make them as miserable as they are. Misery loves company after all. Or maybe they grew up without much and they fear that same treatment for thier children and end up hurting them without knowing better.

Answer 10

d**n straight.

It's just weak parenting. They can't handle their kids not liking them so they spoil them rotten with rotten food.

"I'd rather they die from obesity than be angry with me!"

They're weak and selfish, that's all it is.

Wow. Why am I so angry?
