@altschmerz Sorry; I can't ignore the epidemic. I taught health, and I live how I teach.

[slate.com]

@Robecology these people seem to be ‘living,’ but overtime how are they going to fair?

@Freedompath Bingo.

Folks who let poor eating habits dominate their lives will end up with a more disease-filled life.

A shorter life. A miserable suffering life.

A more socially dependent (on meds and health care) life.

I do feel sorry for them; the behavior is deep-seeded (seated?) and something their loving parents unintentionally did for them - creating eating habits that are far harder to change than any drug addiction.

So I empathize with them - and can only warn today's parents to not "spoil" their child with junk food...for they will, literally, spoil their children's lives.

@Robecology there may be something deeper at fault here. Out of my 5 children 3 are overweight...but they eat good foods. The others eat good foods, and thin but have health issues. I have mostly been thin most of my life (after menopause some weight gain) When my children were growing up, I always paid attention to preparing healthy foods. So I am wondering, if something is changing...in how the body works? If it is not a preoccupation with eating?

@Freedompath There's a fine line between resisting coddling and spoiling a child. There's many degrees of nurturing that we as parents fell in to...and we've all made mistakes.

It's not our fault. We did our best. We have no business performing hind-sight guilt on how we fed our kids.

I have a ladyfriend with an obese daughter who's constantly "kicking herself" because she "spoiled" her...no matter what I say or do to discourage her....and the daughter just becomes larger and more dependent on insulin.

I myself am struggling with a desire to lose just 10 pounds...but old habits die slowly....if at all. These food "habits" - even our metabolism - were set before we could walk and talk.

So all I can say is we did what we did...and I hope that todays' families are better planned, and that today's parents are more aware that it's those critical formative years that diets are set....for life.
