Not necessarily... It takes food deserts and poverty.
If mom and dad can't afford to go anywhere but McDonalds, it's going to happen.

It's statistically way less likely.
But also anecdotally, I have seen way too many kids sustained on McDonald's or worse, and they often remain a healthy weight.
What's going on nutrient wise is hard to tell, but it's not easy to make a kid fat. You have to really impress some bad eating habits on them to make it happen.
