A member asked:
Do you think family is to blame for childs obesity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To A Degree: A family has control when a child is young of what food they buy, what they offer and how much.In addition exercise routines can be established.Also a family models healthy eating habits. There may be other factors out of parents control, but there is much we influence. So yes parents share some responsibility.
