Parents of Obese Children Should Be Punished For Making Their Children Fat

1) Parents cannot control what their children eat during school hours when they consume most of their daily calories, so blaming parents for obesity is unfair. 2) Genetic factors also influence a child's weight, with some children predisposed to gaining weight due to slowed metabolism or other biological traits, limiting what parents can do. 3) For these reasons, parents should not be punished for their children's obesity, as they have limited control over children's diets and genetics also play a role.

Study shows,

Parents of obese children


should be punished for making
their children fat.
To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
It is argued that the mothers and fathers of overweight
children should be penalised for allowing their offspring to
become obese. I completely disagree with this opinion and think
that parents should not be blamed for their children’s obesity.

To begin with, parents are not present when children


consume most of their food. When children are at school, they
eat snacks and have their lunch and the adults have no control
over their dietary intake during this time. A child could consume
the vast majority of their calories during these unsupervised
periods, without their mother and father’s knowledge or
permission. A recent study showed that primary school students
consume an average of 75% of their daily recommended calorific
allowance during school hours.

Alternatively, genetic factors determine the weight of a


child. Some people have innate biological traits that slow their
metabolism or make it difficult for them to lose weight. In these
circumstances, there is little parents can do to help their children
to maintain a healthy body mass index and they should not be
held accountable because it is the child’s genes that are mostly
responsible. A recent research found that 27% of children in the
United Kingdom who were morbidly obese had a genetical
disorder that made them predisposed to carrying extra body fat.

In conclusion, parents should not be sanctioned if their sons


or daughters are too heavy because they are unable to supervise
their diet for most of their day and genes play a role in
determining the weight of a human being.
