I hear you. If i get one more comment about how slim I am when I dare complain that the distribution of my weight still means awful thigh rash in the heat! I get it, I just feel dismissed and it’s lately getting on my goat!

I have strong shoulders..a medium frame . I'm only 110lbs. It's my frame. I tend to build muscle better. So that's how I keep it in check. I'm more muscular. I've been thinner without muscle. .. but those spots love fat. Genetically speaking . My fathers side is the same

This seems odd to me. I know it was supposed to be loud, but I live about 14 miles from the launch pad and it didn't seem, by the very scientific measurement of my ears, to be any louder than any other launch, maybe even quieter.

If a kid is making their own food their probably fucked up anyways from neglect sadly. So I don't think it's that. An obese child, most times I've seen. Has enabling parents. I don't see the parents really mentioned as the reason a child could be obese at all. I understand that there's extenuating factors. But how rare is it that kid who gets healthy meals from his parents and gets exercise(playing and the like) is overweight?

I don't think young toddlers know what a calorie is, or how many they need - or the difference between a good calorie and a bad calorie.

So are kids making and serving their own food, and just making bad choices at it?

Or is the same thing that causes their cognitive abilities to function poorly also causing the metabolism to function poorly?

Two different people eating the exact same meal of the exact same calories can react to that meal very differently depending on how their hormones are balanced
