Which holds the most responsibility for the rise in childhood obesity, parents, marketing or the schools?

a combo of all 3 of course.also,the invention of computers and computer games,encouraging sedentary rather than active play,also the violence in society which makes parents breathe easier when kids are safely playing in the house,not roaming the neighborhood.decrease in play areas-the fields my friends and i played in,climbed trees ,ran around-are all strip malls and car parks now.most new neighborhoods dont even have sidewalks anymore-no one wants their kids to play in the road.ultimately,its what the parents buy and eat,if i had to choose one.too many people i know feed their BABIES nasty mcfries,setting them up good and early for a lifetime of arterial plaque build-up.i try to feed my family right,but its hellish to try to avoid the all-pervasive addition of "high-fructose corn syrup>"that craps in EVERYTHING!!!!studies show that in 2 groups of mice,fed an identical diet,if one group drinks just water,and one group drinks water with hi-fructose syrup,the hi-fructose syrup mice all became morbidly obese!it is metabolised differently from sugar,and encourages the body to store fat.so,this additive is a factor,in my opinion.
Parents. 100%, parents.
It all goes back to parenting. Just like everything now-a-days. If you dont overfeed your kids, and make them exercise, take them to the parks, and perhaps sign them up for athletics/sports, then you will have less of a chance they will become overweight/lazy. Teach them about eating right, the same way you would teach them good manners!
Parents. Only they can instill early on the disciplined mindset to eat healthy.

parents...........
I think it's parents. It all boils down to them and they should be educating their children about food, health and fitness from an early age. It's too easy to blame someone else for what concerns THEIR child.
