Childhood obesity is entirely the result of family choices! Parents control the food in the house, and the activities children participate in. If kids are chowing down on junk food and glued to screens, that's on the parents! Excuses about genetics or society don't cut it. Families dictate habits, period. If childhood obesity is prevalent, it's because parents aren't making the right choices. End of story.

You are a buffoon. Sure I won't use any excuses but I have on thing that you can hear out alright? Children don't always listen. If parents control everything and tell children to eat healthy it won't matter, kids have outside influence that leads to higher independent thinking but also makes it so that they might go against a lot of things that are actually good for them. These outside influences overshadow everything else and even the teachings of parents.

Listen, ChicHurricane711, you're missing the point completely! Outside influences? Seriously? Parents are responsible for shaping children's environment. Period. If kids are sneaking junk food, that's on the parents for not setting boundaries or supervising them properly. Sure, kids might rebel, but consistent, firm parenting controls that. Blaming external factors is a cop-out. Parents have the power, and if they wield it effectively, childhood obesity doesn't stand a chance. Dismissing this responsibility is just lazy parenting.

You really are stupid, more oppression means the kids will find more ways to rebel. It is scientifically proven that kids will often rebel mor the more the parents try to become control freaks. Honestly i don't know that you are saying, you are starting to sound like a dictator. Kids will rebel just like it has happened to large dictatorships in huge countries and other smaller places.

CoolArchipelago669 aggressively argues that family choices are entirely responsible for childhood obesity, emphasizing parental control over food and activities. However, their argument is weakened by a lack of solid evidence and over-reliance on personal opinion. ChicHurricane711 counter-argues that children's independent thinking and rebellion against control are significant factors, supported by the psychological perspective. Despite their valid points, the effectiveness of their argument is somewhat diminished by the use of offensive language. Overall, the debate showcases strong pathos but lacks substantial ethos and logos.
