to a point. Some kids are kinda screwed because they start off getting fattening foods when toddlers, and they don't know better and don't have a choice. But when they get into jr high and high school, they should start to understand and try and make changes. I blame the parents for starting them off on the wrong foot and teaching them it's ok to eat mcdonalds 12 times a week and drink a 2 litre of soda each day.
