My immediate thought is nature vs nurture… In many cases an overweight person has a life style that causes being overweight. A fit person has a life style that encourages being fit. Do you wake up early to use the gym before work? Do you use the electric scooter at the store so you don’t have to walk? Do you eat a dinner of fresh vegetables, a starch, and a piece of meat? Do you throw a box of corn dogs in the microwave for 2 minutes as dinner?
These probably influence if the child will be over weight a lot more.
