Since they were obese as freshmen, the finger would seem to point at their parents. But any parent(s) raising kids under stressful conditions could be forgiven more easily for raising an obese college graduate than a trim and fit dropout, I think. Working single parenthood is maybe the most major non-genetic risk factor for obesity, am I wrong? Instilling nutritional discipline has got to be a tremendous challenge for a working single parent, just looking at things logistically. When you look at it as a triage situation, I commend a single parent choosing to go right home after work to make sure their kids do their homework, rather than going to get fresh produce first.
