Fattening up the kiddies

Feministing:

Well, this is sort of hilarious.

In addition to the UK study last year which said that working mothers are big drunks in front of their kids, new UK research is showing that being a working mom will also make your kids fat.

The researchers said: 'Long hours of maternal employment, rather than lack of money, may impede young children's access to healthy foods and physical activity.

'For example, parental time constraints could increase a child's consumption of snack foods and / or increase television use.'

They said working mothers were also less likely to breastfeed for the recommended amount of time.
They're malnourishing their babies! Oh wait, I mean making them fat! Well, they're malnourishing them, and then making them fat! Working mothers are just bad for your health, trust us!

Fat babies, here I come.
