Yes - but it often goes back generations because today's parents were badly brought up and so on. It's very hard to expect a heavily overweight mother not to feed her kids the way she was fed when she was young.
Living in South Texas I see this problem everywhere - and it's mostly the poorer people who are fattest it seems to me. They are likely the least educated too. In the UK the govt spends a lot on advertising healthy lifestyles. I think they should do that here on Disney and Nickelodeon. Actually Nickelodeon do it themselves - which is excellent.
No, somebody needs to counter the misleading ads of the big fast food companies. You can't do nothing and just say "It's the parent's fault" - that's not fair on their kids!
