- Wealthy parents are more likely to afford GYM and teach their children more about being fit and the consequence of not being fit; because they are more likely to have time to spend with their children rather than thinking about food and money. on the other hand, working class people have to think about what they are going to do to get money rather than spending their time with their children.
