I know people who blame their parents for being fat. In their 50's.
A teenager has the intellectual capacity to understand excess calories are stored as fat, and fat is used when eating at a deficit. A teenager also has the intellectual capacity to stop eating when it had enough.
My mother consistently served too much food to everyone. "Strangely" my parents were fat. I used to dump about 1/3 of the food in the trash after every meal and ask her polotely for less because of the waste.
She never made less... untill I started taking my plate before the meal and dump half of it in the trash, then eat the rest. Not long after I made my own meals anyway, but that helped her figure maby too much food made her fat, not muh thyroid and muh genetics.
So no adult has an excuse for being fat. They can explain what led them to consistently eat too much beyond childhold, but they cannot hand-wave it away as someone else's responsability.
Well, unless they are mentally retarded and someone else is still responsible to control their food intake. Or their parents beating them if they don't overeat, then GTFO that house about yesterday.
