Parenting and Home Environment Influence Children's Exercise and Eating Habits

My goodness, will wonders never cease? Kids follow their parents example in exercise and nutrition, there's a shocker. In fact it's so surprising that scientists have conducted a study to determine the details, you can find it here

Combine that with the new determination by the AMA that obesity is a disease (here), and you've got parents giving kids a disease through lazy poorly fed upbringings. Does this mean we as parents will be required to enforce healthy eating habits for our kids?! Maybe.

I love my kids and want the best for them, perhaps that means I'll be a cruel man and require my kids to finish their veggies, get off the couch, and get outside! Apparently that means I'm fighting disease in my home as a (mostly) responsible daddy.
Kudos to Carrots.

Should we be compelled to do this? No friggin way.
