i think there's a certain mentality of denial when people eat something that could potentially be a health risk. a thinking that goes "oh, it wont happen to me". dont poke fun. everyone has it or else nobody would ever drink soda or eat cake. also, some of us are a blessed with a bit higher metabolism than others. in my opinion, though, the blame really goes to the parents. your child gets his/her eating habits from how you fed them and how easily you gave in to their whining
