In one amounts to a complete lack of responsibility the BBC is reporting that children are responsible for making parents overweight. Since the adults are ultimately responsible for what children eat since they are making the purchases this is nothing more than shifting the blame and not owning up to your own actions. While it is difficult to deny your children “junk food” and eliminating it entirely would be near impossible, the real goal should be to teach your children healthy eating habits and moderation when eating sweets and or other unhealthy food items.

BBC NEWS | Health | Kids may make parents overweight
Overweight adults may be able to blame their offspring after a US study found adults living with children eat more fat than others.

Those living with children ate the equivalent of almost a pepperoni pizza of saturated fat each week compared with adults in a childless household. The work, in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, was based on surveys of 6,600 adults.
