No. It is down to the parents and the child. If they eat proper food and get plenty of exercise then the chances of childhood obesity are minimised.
They are largely at fault, though not completely at fault. As children get older they have some responsibility themselves, but if they have not been guided right from early on by their parents, it will be more difficult for them.
It is at the hands of many. The parents for letting their child eat un-healthy foods so much that the child becomes obese. Fast-food places (along with other restaurants) for serving un-healthy, high-fat, hig-calorie, high-sodium (salt) foods. The child (depending on their age) for eating bad and not exercising.
No. Restaurants are there to sell food. They are businesses. The people responsible for childhood obesity are the parents and the children.
The parents of course. A child's mind is easily molded into what's acceptable and what isn't. It's the parents' responsibility to make sure that they understand what a healthy lifestyle is.
They're definitely a factor in the obesity issue, but it wouldn't necessarily be their fault. Many restaurants back in the 50's and 60's served high-fat treats - the only difference is that they now serve bigger portion sizes and many people don't practice moderation and choose to eat fast food very often.
No. Fast Food isn't to blame for obesity because your the one that chooses to eat it
The parents own lifestyle and eating habits reflect on the children so the parents should themselves, be eating healthy and exercising regularly to avoid obesity in their children. Also parents contribute by the types of foods they buy for the home and when they go out to eat with the kids. If the parents make good decisions for themselves then their children will remain free from obesity.

Child obesity.
Left untreated, child obesity leads to adult obesity. Obesity in adults is responsible for premature death or disability in many people world wide (Fact - More people die world wide from being over weight than underweight - World Health organization stats). Child obesity is completely preventable, and if nothing is done to correct diets as a child, our children are being set up for health problems in their adult lives.
