What a stupid misleading headline (and study). How about blaming yourself - the kid didn’t cram another Ho-Ho down your throat.
It’s because we were brought up to “eat everything on your plate” and as a parent you can’t see throwing out what the kids don’t eat. So you eat it. Hence, you become fat!
We had 5 kids in 9 years-—believe me when I say that I got lots of exercise! By the time I finished cooking for the family, I was sick of looking at food, and never ate all that much. I still weigh barely over 100 pounds.
I think a lot of obesity is due to the genes you inherit. Of course some folks do overeat and don’t move around as much, but I do think that genes play a large part.
Dr. Laura has the best diet around: EAT LESS, MOVE MORE!
