X box and play station also has a lot to answer for.
You can eat them?

OK then.... Has anyone ever seen two fat parents with slim kids. It's never gonna happen.

Is that right?
Then why are my three boys all slim? I'm 20 stone and Mrs Secure is quite overweight.
We don't make a habit of buying white bread (always wholemeal or mixed), if they have pasta it's always wholemeal, rice is always basmati, we don't have extra-sweet cereals (like Frosties or Cocopops) in the house, we don't buy crisps, chocolate, sweets, carbonated drinks, etcetera..... If the boys have a sweet drink at all it tends to be pure juice or sugar free squash but mostly water, like I drink.
I'm partly overweight because I have several hormone imbalances. I have a non-cancerous tumour pressing on my pituitary causing it to malfunction. Also, I'm overweight because of mobility issues.
It's not all down to lifestyle choices.

Sorry to hear that secure.
But look, If you thought for one second your kids were getting bullied at school for being fat, and you realized it was a direct result of learnt behaviour from you and the wife. How would you feel.???
People need to hold their hands up sometimes and accept responsibility.
I can see what you're saying, Eddie!
But my weight loss is severely hampered by hormone imbalances and my inability to exercise.
As you know, it is very easy once you stop working/ exercising to carry on eating as if you were and before you know it, you are overweight.

I am not fat but let us say heavy/well built but as I said in my younger days (teens) it used to bother me and I was doing more than enough exercise and tried every low fat/carb eating trend going but could not shed my heaviness and although not bullied at school defended myself when any insults did come up and put a stop to it... so it is down to your body... my wife is slim and kids slim but as my wife says she likes real men like me and secure and not you skinny boney lot

You don't have to answer SS, but how old are your boys?
Reason I ask is that IMO you cannot extrapolate the grown adult, to the kid, with regard to weight, anyway.
I am in my early forties, have always exercised / been active, eat what I liked (just so happens that "what I liked" tended not to be cake or chocolate, but steaks, beer, home-prepared chillis and curries, etc) - I wouldn't thank you for a McD. Until I packed in weight-training and took up swimming a couple of years ago, I carried little body fat. I'm not quite Moob Man yet, but I would be, if I didn't cut down on the booze (and reluctantly, hit the iron again).
My boys are like racing snakes. However, taking a snapshot of me and them would tell you little, I expect. As they are kids, not men.
Probably a bit like losing your hair - even though your dad is bald, you think (as I did, at 30-odd), "it won't happen to me!"
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree (given time) - probably a lot of truth in that.
There is no such thing as being big boned or heavy set.

Oh yes there is. Medically, bodies can be classified as endomorphic, mesomorphic and ectomorphic, and everybody falls into one of those classifications (I reckon I'm endomorphic).
However, whichever one, you are quite right that you can put on weight and lose it (although the extra weight could be fat or muscle), by eating more/less and by expending/conserving energy.
