I have a few friends who are fat and they bmx and eat semi-healthy but dont seem to loose weight (they bike ALL the time and every day in the summer) so they are very active. I don't think you should be blaming the parents, tv, or food for alot of people (well less then majority) it's just the way they are built.

Sorry I don't know many 4, 5, 6, or 7 year olds that are just built to be obese. it is one thing for a teenager who is going through their change.... It is normal for their bodies to start taking it's real shape. Heck as a teen I was above average and I developed QUITE a bit. But as a CHILD.... I was normal weight. Unless it is a medical condition there is no reason for a child under 10 to be obese. In that case it IS laziness and poor diet if you ask me.
