It's ot necessarily lazy parenting but often there's an element of it being parents who don't know what else to do to make things run smoothly. Although it's often a factor - Parents of overweight children aren't always overweight themselves. My daughter went to a dance class where one of the girls, aged just 5, was full on morbidly obese. Her mum was really skinny. But she was constantly bribing / rewarding this girl with food, which is the other major cause of childhood obesity, and also a surefire way to set up bad food habits for life (food = reward = feel good).
