Parents fail to recognize when their children are obese: NewsTarget.com

The British Medical Research Council (MRC) has claimed that parents who understand the importance of diet and exercise still have trouble recognizing when their own children are obese. In response, the British government has launched a plan to help educate parents on ways to implement healthier lifestyles.

Researchers from the MRC's Human Nutrition Research unit found that people who have a poor ability to recognize when they are overweight are even worse at determining obesity in their children.

This was only one of the factors preventing families from adopting healthier lifestyles. Other factors included irregular working hours, busy lives, belief that healthy living is too difficult or complicated, and fears about letting children play outdoors.
