Well, that's depressing, especially since parents make most of the choices for children. "Your parents fed you bad food so I guess you're screwed." Yay.

- johnkpaul 6y agoI wouldn’t think of it that way! Think about the control you have now. My mother was so into sugar and had other medical issues and had all her teeth pulled and dentures by 35. I was born into an extremely high insulin environment and was morbidly obese by 8. I just hit my 4 year anniversary of carbohydrate recovery and I’ve made super significant change in my weight, cholesterol, A1C and tons of other unmeasurables.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoSeems like this is something that could be treated, perhaps a slightly more sophisticated version of, stop eating sugar and "take these probiotic pills/foods."
- hntrader 6y ago> parents make most of the choices for children That's mostly true for what the kid eats, but not really how much the kid eats. Childhood obesity is largely genetic, the correlation between an adoptee's BMI is stronger with that of their biological parents than with their host family.
