A. If they ever had an overweight family member or they themself had weight struggles growing up. Also if they want to or already have children. It is their job as parents to keep their children healthy with a healthy diet that is nutritious (no junk food) and regular exercise. So that it could become habit that way they would become used to eating that way.
