lot of truth here. I suffered from this growing up pantry full of cereal, little debbies and potato chips. I don't blame my parents though they were just as uneducated on nutrition at the time. Poor health killed my father at 54 and we was never obese but that didn't mean he was healthy as I've since found out.

Me as well.

Except I absolutely blame my parents and family, and hold it against them as well. Nothing stopped them from learning how to feed their children properly; it feels like a lack of care. It pisses me off. And it pisses me off when I see young kids that are obese. IMO, parents should be tried for child abuse if their children are obese, unless the parents can prove the kid has medical complications. Parents like on that shitty show "honey boo boo" or whatever are what I'm aiming at.

That said, I love my family. I just don't broach that subject with them.
