While I certainly concede a genetic potential to obesity, I have wondered if good old home cooking combined with family habits of preferred leisure time activities (exercise) could ever be satisfactorily teased out of childhood obesity tendencies.<br>
The kid who is raised on say, tasty southern cooking family recipes and connects with football as a fan but never actually plays a sport. Demographic obesity studies show that traditional southern cooking is very high in fat, AND that most obese people in the US live in the south. Is it simply genetics? How much is regional (or family) dietary preferences?<br>
How many of these family traits come from the kitchen?<br>Football fan who does not play the game, Lynn<br>
