From my college days and a study of Genetics, I remember traits, etc. that can be dominant and others that can skip a generation.
I may consider becoming a parent using an egg donor. Could the donor be height weight proportionate but her biological child be obese from her parents?
I’ve seen overweight couples with overweight children. Is it a "like" behavior thing?
well, the surrogacy clinic just told me they provide all data, height and weight and medical for the parents of the donor, so those records should prevent traits that might skip generations.

"WASHINGTON – Kellogg Co., the world’s largest cereal maker, has agreed to raise the nutritional value of cereals and snacks it markets to children.

What is wrong with you PEOPLE, you got fat by yourselves by eating like dogs, not looking what you are eating and demending better foods. Just like truly Americans, you always point at somebody else. Shame on you.

Bill would make it illegal to feed the obese
Three legislators want to make it illegal for restaurants to serve obese customers in Mississippi.

House Bill No. 282, which was introduced this month, says: Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person.

The proposal would allow health inspectors to yank the permit from any restaurant that "repeatedly" feeds extremely overweight customers.

The bill, written by GOP Rep. W. T. Mayhall Jr., was referred to the Judiciary and Public Health committees, but The Jackson Free Press doesn’t expect it to garner much support in the statehouse.

About two-third of Mississippians are considered overweight or obese, according to a recent analysis of federal health data.

Studies have proven that more that one in every four children that is examined by a health professional is either obese, or possesses a great deal of risk for becoming obese.
What can we do to help the youth at risk? Many people don’t realize that when they remain significantly overweight, they pose risk for more than 10 serious and possibly fatal diseases.
The thing is – we need to be realistic. Fast food restaurants are never going to go away, and parents can only prevent their child for so long. I know of mnay children that were not allowed to consume fast food, but did it every chance they got when their parents were oblivious.
Also, we can’t always force the youth to get away from the TV, go outside and exercise. There are also parents that won’t force their child to do that either. Many parents say that schools need to do this and do that, but they think that the proposal stops at 3pm, and they don’t have to worry about anything. "Since the schools can take care of it." Many parents, especially parents that are also overweight will not force their child to do something "just to be skinny", the thing is, many parents feel as if their child does not need to lose weight because they feel as if they would be catering to society’s ideals.

The term "type 1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Likewise, the term "type 2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
