    On a serious note, I do think some children’s weight can be down to the genes they have, for example my son eats alot of food, in fact he is always saying he is hungry and the amount he eats you would expect him to be the size of a house but he is very slim.
    Maybe this has something to do with genes as his father is just the same, and I can imagine if this is true then maybe the opposite can occur and a child be obese because of his/her genes.

    yep its definateley in their genes… their parents are fat lazy twonks and so are they. kids are supposed to be snotty dirty and tired out by 7 in the evening, and mine were always just that. they played out. they went to the youth club. they were playing soccer. they never sat still. and there were no bleddy e numbers to blame. kids today sit in front of a game station, get their meals from the microwave and never leave the lounge unless its to raid the fridge, or to stuff 6 packets of crisps into their fat little faces. [not all kids of course, but you all know a kid like this] i know a woman in her 30s who has 4 kids various ages between 5 and 17 every single one of her kids is exactly the same as her. too fat to walk more than 20 paces. all of them are scruffy, no sweaty, and every one has a different game station. we call em the f.f.f [the fat fekker family.] and no i dont feel in the slightest bit sorry for them, nor do i need to see their lifestyle. the whole lot of em waddle wherever they go. they waddle out of their people carrier into the local social club, they waddle to the bar. then they waddle to the people carrier at around midnight, and go for a chinese or a indian. then they go home, waddle into the kitchen and stuff their fat pudgy faces. then they waddle off to bed, where they stay till 1 or 2 in the afternoon. fat idle twonks no excuses no genetic imbalance. its caled being a scrounger. and the whole family could be in the olympic team for eating and filling in benefit claim forms… and oh i forgot to say, the people carrier is on disability, as are the mother , father, and 2 of the kids…. wecome to dss the health professionals…

    The children you mention at least, it’s not in there genes at all what utter rubbish.
    It’s the uneducated parents, children learn from the enviroment which surround them, if the family was keen sports enthusiasts, you can pretty much gurantee so would the kids be.
    It’s not about genes, it’s about lazy people and lack of education about food or even some times depression that causes people to eat, as others with depression might turn to drink or drugs, some turn to food.

    Nature versus Nurture, in the end aren’t we all accountable for ourselves regardless of these conflicting influences
