Germans tend to be plump, while vikings tend to be leaner. I think it has something to do with wether their specific territory supported their food, and that determines when your body stores fat. I think that's right.

Well i saw it in maury once, about obese children and their parents. As an example you can use, this one mother was like, yeah i feed my baby boy breakfast at about 9 in the morning, then a morning snack at around 10:30. then i give him lunch at 11:15, and give him lots of choices for snacks till 5:45 when he eats his dinner which is usually like two steaks or something, and then give him a midnight snack at around 10 pm when he goes to bed. And the mom was like"I feed my baby when he`s hungry, i`m not letting him starve!!"pssh, yeah right, shes practiacly feeding him every freaking hour!!lol so yeah i hope that helped... hey i`m in 7th grade too!
