I agree DarkMage. The main reason kids are fat = Fat parents.

Actually to be more precise, I think it's more of LAZY parenting that's making the poor kids fat than just the fact that the parents are fat. Also, uneducated parents come to mind as well.
If the parents ARE genetically prone to weight issues then they should be even more careful about eating on a healthy diet as a family. If they aren't being conscience of their family health history and are letting their kids eat more than 3 fast food meals a week for any excuse, then shame on them.
Even IF you work 18 hours a day and don't have time to prepare meals and you're too poor to eat at "healthy" restaurants, and you
have to resort to eating out due to time-restraints, there are options other than McD's. Or if you must, at least make the kids eat salad in place of their fries or something.
Although IMHO, cooking at home is probably the cheapest and healthiest thing you can do for yourself. Dishing up a well-rounded, healthy meal that's satisfying, delicious and good for you can sometimes take less time than it takes for a pizza delivery. It's a shame most parents out there think they don't have the time to do it or they don't know how; once you get the hang of it, it's the best damn thing you can do for yourself (and your family) and really not that hard to do. :S
Jam it back in, in the dark.
