Tallg... don't you mean we should blame 'institutions' and 'universities' and, you know, anyone but the parents and the children.

Atif - if children are so disobedient that they cry and throw a tantrum when mom says no, then they have been poorly raised.

Who buys the crap food, the playstations and the computer games for the kids?

The parents.

Who gives the kids money so they can go out and buy their own crap food and computer games?

The parents.

No one else to blame. Plenty of countries have warm weather and junk food, but only in the Gulf are people this obese. Coincidence??
