Most often what we can see is that parents who are fat will most likely have children who are also fat. I guess it's genetic inheritance. But how do you explain kids who are fat born to parents who are both thin??

Actually i have also noticed this and has also read about it in many of the health magazines but never came to a point at actually this is true or not. But in general my opinion is that yes it can be linked with the genes . But without any scientific research its hard to reach at any conclusions.

My answer would be yes and no. I think it has much to do with our lifestyle. Even if our parents are thin, that doesn't mean that we can be as well. If we practice unhealthy lifestyle, it can mean getting fat.

Yeah, I agree with the rest of you guys. Just take me as an example. I'm now consider bloated but my parents look ok when they were my age. It's my lifestyle that is causing this.
