The metabolism of each child within a family is going to be an individual matter, with individual eating habits, exercise habits and emotional stresses. Even though a child starts out as fat or thin is no guarantee that the child will continue on the same path for their entire life.
Some of my girls eat and eat and eat, and yet can't gain a pound. Another child barely looks at food and the pounds pile on. So, what's the difference? I really can't tell you.
Now, the other side of your question - a parent purposefully making their child to be/ or appear to be sick -- There is such a disorder Munchhausen's by Proxy. It really happens and what happens to the kids is devastating to their lives.

I never heard that the only way people made their child fat is to give them more food to eat, my parents want me to be big and healthy since my mom side the genes are small. I am 6 feet 5 inches and weight 320 lbs with 13% bodyfat. It all depends
