Obesity in children

I think it has a little to do with everything. If you genes that make you more succeptible to obestity that is alwasy gonna eb a factor. However some of my friends parents are rather heavy while they're quite atletic. It coudl be that they luckily avoided that gene but you cant blame obesity on genes alone. Enviroment defintly had alot to do with obesity. If someoen has no where to exercise and no accesss to healthy eating or living they will likely be obese genes or not. to answer your question id say its a combination of all these things that has casued this epidemic.

Hello,nilouette! No it is neither the gene effect nor the environmental effect.It is the present day lifestyle and food habits and lack of exercise that make the children obese.the school education is so designed now a days that the children do not get enough time to play.from morning to evening they are simply sitting with their books either at school or at home and eating all so called good foods available in the market which result in obesity.so it is better advised not to overburden the children with reading and allow eating fast foods or the junk foods.thank you.
