That kid in the photo is fat and the lockdown didn’t cause that ! Yes poor diet causes obesity in all ages. Look at the parents as they are the ones who generally feed the kids, they are the ones to blame.

Covid-19 can not be an excuse for bad parenting.

Adult obesity too

No, that would be irresponsible parents.

Their parents should be ashamed. But the left have decided it's somebody else's fault.

🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉 They should take lemon tea with honey

of course this is a small price to pay, because dealing with the Karen Flu is obviously more important... Buut.. if they are obese, they are more at risk..👿 A vicious cycle without end😱😱 LockdownsKill COVID1984

Lazy parents thats why.

Stop feeding the fat waps then! 🙄

No sh. t

Not really ... less take away and more healthy meals from home cooking. Fruits and veggies .. of course dessert! We don’t have any problems with our kid!

That’s utter rubbish to start with. My son has lost 4 1/2 pounds since being home every day on lockdown! He looks better than he’s ever looked. 👋😊👍

It’s their parents that are sat in hour long queues at KFC & McDonalds drive thrus

Poor diet or poor parenting...

Bad parenting.

Put down the crap food & go for a walk ffs

due to less exercise as well
