I absolutely think parents are morally obligated; at the end of the day they are the ones who chose what their kids eat and what activites they do.

Parents should stop taking the lazy way out with fast food and cook meals at home for a change, or at least pick up something healthier from the grocery store. All I hear parents say is how they don't have time. If they cared enough about their kids IMO they'd make the time.
