Is obesity a genetic problem that can run in families, or is it more likely that children pick up the poor eating habits of parents?

Yes and Yes. There have been some genetic associations to obesity that are inherited (associations that are not necessarily causal), but familial factors like learning poor eating habits are seen in most, if not all, obese patients, and will compound the problem in patients who could have a genetic susceptibility to obesity.
