No. All this article is is an excuse for the parents who have no control over their own children and give into them whining and screaming about wanting McDonald's.

Obesity in children is a matter of concern in recent days and we have to create awareness to help people around lead a healthier life ahead. Even if the obesity in children can't be cut down immediately but can be controlled by hard work and proper guidance of healthy living. The parents can guide what is fit for their health.

You are out of your mind. Diabetes is a genetic susceptability to an environmental cause that is obviously not the common flu. If there is a link it is much easier to propose that diabetes engineered an immunosuppressed environment in which one can contract the flu, not the other way around. You are out of your mind. It is much more fruitfull to focus on genetic factors and preventative medicine than finding excuses for obesity.
