text: I'm appalled at what I see obese people feeding their obese children. Learning to eat carrots instead of donuts takes some effort, but it can be done. I believe also that snack manufacturers make chips and snack crackers addictive - salty, crunchy, oily - and that leads
  to toting the unhealthy heft.
  As Miss Piggy would say: "Never eat more than you can lift."
