I could dream up all kinds of reasons for a dataset to look the way that it does. If the kids were thinner, they'd blame the working moms for neglecting to feed their children.

I also called BUNK as soon as I read the freaking title (at Babycenter and beyond); however, I didn't take the time to actually find the bunk in the original research. Thanks for helping me along the way.<br />I also REALLY appreciate your average rant. I have a Dec baby who, despite being the youngest, is the tallest in her class. I am sure she is also one of the heaviest even though I can count every rib. <br />I am willing to believe that having a Mom who works is a factor in childhood obesity; however, I am also going to assert so does having a happy home (however you want to define that!) and in my house, that means BOTH Mom and Dad work outside the home.Erinnoreply@blogger.com
