If the child is young when they become obese and there is no health problem causing that obesity, then I’d probably blame the parents, but that is an extreme case.

Most people don’t become obese until they are older and it can be difficult to get kids to eat healthily. Anyone with kids will know- it’s not just as easy as saying; “eat that”, some kids are awkward about what they eat, and if you couple that with the fact most parents have been at work all day and are tired, you can see why some are just happy their kids are eating something!, even if it’s not strictly the healthiest option.
