Maybe your kids have that slim type of body who can eat as much as they want but they dont gain weight:) but it is rare
It true in Lebanon there are few extra obese people, but lets be honest, it is very common especially for men to be at least a bit chubby as they love their tummy so much:D and Lebanese foods are so tasty!!
Am not sure but maybe the European and North American people have different type of body/genes than ME people, which makes them gain weight easier.
ps: about junk food in school, Jamie Oliver had an initiative in London to tackle this problem, he introduced healthy foods into canteens, needless to say kids hated it, they want to eat just burgers
