Maybe you should take his advice, and work with your two younger children about their lifestyle. Still, this gives him no right to tease. But, hey, he's the older brother, so I wouldn't worry too much about that because there's no way of stopping it. Oldest brother picking on younger siblings is not unusual.

His constant teasing may stem from something unsatisfactory in HIS life, not necessarily his siblings'. How is his social life? Perhaps his friends or girlfriend has commented on the weight of his siblings, making him embarrassed? I'm not trying to blame you (the parent), but is there anything in your behavior that might upset him? Do you pay more attention to your younger children than him? He may be trying to get your attention or seek your approval. His outrage at his younger brother not being interested in what he likes may stem from feelings of loneliness, as if no one in the family shares his likes. Also, he may disapprove of your "lazy" lifestyle because he is afraid of being like that as well, hence his constant effort to keep healthy. I'm not saying that this is THE answer to your problems b/c it could be a number of things, but rather this is just to get the ball rolling toward the solution. Good luck.

If he is that concerned about their health, he should be encouraging them to join him for a morning run, evening walk, eat healthier. Not criticizing them.
