What do you think about adult and childhood obesity? What do you really think is at the “heart” of the weight-loss crisis in America? When you see a 250-pound 10-year-old in public, what do you think? Do you make any assumptions? Do you think the parents are guilty of causing this obesity? If the parents are not guilty, then what are the underlying causes?
Obesity:- The main reasons of obesity are:-
* Over eating,

* Physical inactivity,
* Medications,
* Diseases like hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, etc.
Child obesity:-
Child obesity is caused by eating more calories food and drinks, physically inactive,etc.Genetic and harmonal effects are also play a role in that for example digestive harmone is also a reason of this sometimes. This may lead to daibetes,high Blood Pressure,high cholesterol, etc. This is self treatable disease that means they have to maintain diet which is not containing carbohydrates,fats,etc. and performing physical exercise daily and others.

This may result in death, hypertension,coronary heart diseases,stroke,etc. It is self treatable by follow common diet, weight loss medicines,devices,etc.
In October of 2020, U.S declared the troubling news that there are 40% American adults are suffering from obesity. The most likely reason of that is Environment in America. But they can cure it by maintaining proper diet and making daily exercise,etc.
If any person see 250 pounds 10 year old boy that starts feeling "how fat he is?" and we will ask the patient many things like how much do you eat, are your parents ard also obesed,are you taking treatment,etc due to kind nature in human beings. So everyone feels in the same manner even me. I will assume that he is suffering from diseas obviously becayse I have knowledge about the thing but who doesn't have knowledge about obesity,they feels it is due to over eating,etc.
Yes, I think parents will be guilty of that because there is no parent who cann feels happy if his son or daughter is suffering from disease.
