It is sad that parents are either lazy or uneducated and dont educate these kids. In the south I have seen 12 year olds who are morbidly obese.
I have seen grocery carts where they are filled with literally, cases of Mountain dew/Coke and junk food.

I feel sorry for these kids, the parents should know better but apparently do not.
And the parents of those parents should have known, and the parents of those parents, etc. At some point, someone is going to have break up the cycle basically.
