Many times a month, I receive emails through my website and blog asking about child obesity. I’ll leave the clinical and theoretical answers to the psychologists and sociologists. I’ll give the boots on the ground answer.
The real cause of childhood obesity is the fact that parents are either too busy or too lazy (or too obese themselves) to help their children. From day one a child sees everything a parent eats, how they move and how they take care of themselves.
Parents set the patterns that children follow. Many parents are happy to have their child sit in front of the TV with one hand in a bag of chips, another on the remote control.
Meals have become a series of boxed and wrapped concoctions of unhealthy snacks that need no preparation. Again, Laziness by the parents. Traditional meals are ancient history for most.
Many studies have said this is a class problem and though poverty doesn’t help the situation, I work with some of the wealthiest people in the world and some of them have fat children.
If an adult wants to gorge themselves into oblivion, that is their right to do so. To allow their child to do the same is criminal
I am a personal trainer who works with kids who have been abused (yes, this is abuse) by their parents. So I am not writing from emotion, I am writing from reality.
