Why are kids getting fatter?!
Question: Ive never been fat, no matter how hard i try.
Is it a genetic thing, and what can they do about it?
Answers:
We've come a long ways fast from chasing a snake with a stick for dinner and gorging ourselves not knowing when our next meal is.to overabundance at our fingertips. We still have that evolutionary trait to gorge, without having to chase that snake to burn off the calories.

I think the answer is simple:
High-fructose corn-syrup.
It's in everything. Especially soda, pop, coke, whatever you'd like to call it.
I may be wrong. What do you guys think?
computers.. video games.. cable television.. fast food restaurants.. parents that by their teenaged kids cars instead of making them ride bikes/jog/walk to where they want to go.. food that's served in schools..
For some yes it's genetic. For others it's sad to say but they're lazy, have no drive & ambition, and don't have parents that are willing to put any effort into motivating their kids, because it takes to much time & effort.

It's a number of things, it could be genetics, it could be where you live( some climates don't encourage exercise), or it could be the kinds of food you eat.
Kids are getting fatter because they have to ride buses rather than walk to school, can't play outside because they have too much homework and there are some bad people out there, and they are making some poor food choices. As for you, see if your family doctor can help you. You may have a thyroid problem or something else that would cause this. It would be good to know so that you can get it treated. Hope you feel better soon.
It is the fatty stuff parents let their kids eat or drink and then they have no excercise to burn it off they just lay around the house watching cartoons all day which is ridiculous.
I think that kids are getting fatter because they aren't being taught about nutrition or exercise. Kids do what their parents do. I don't know many adults that eat healthy. It's easier to buy fast food and tv dinners.
The biggest reason children are having more and more difficulty with obesity is mainly because of what ther diet is. Most parents don't know how important it is to keep the kids on a healthy diet. I know most people think it is ok to go to fast food resteraunts 3 to 4 times a week due to a busy schedule, but there are a lot of fast easy and healthy meals to cook for the family now days. What people don't know is that the meat and food you buy are being injected with all kinds of hormones to make you crave more and more of the product and buy more. Not all kids are obese or chunky due to what they eat, some children due have medical problems such as a thyroid problem which if they have an overactive thyroid it will be hard for them to gain weight, but if they have an underactive thyroid it will be hard for them to loose weight, there are medications to treat this, but the child has to tested by there doctor first.
