Obesity 'programmed before birth'

Kudos, fatsos. Even more about early nutritional child abuse.
"Eating a high-fat diet in pregnancy may cause changes in the foetal brain that lead to over-eating and obesity early in life, research suggests.

Tests on rats showed those born to mothers fed a high-fat diet had many more brain cells specialised to produce appetite-stimulating proteins.

The Rockefeller University team say the finding may help explain why obesity rates have soared in recent years."
Frankly, I do not believe this is "why obesity rates have soared in recent years."

In fact, I think it is lunacy to think this way.

Without someone pushing the Calories into these kids post-natally, there is no way that they can get fat.

Maybe they crave more food, maybe they don't. Whatever is allegedly going on, without the Calories parents use to abuse their kids, overweight/obesity could not happen.
"Dr Leibowitz said: 'We are programming our children to be fat.'"
This is a slippery slope and removes all responsibility for decision-making from the person - in this case the parent and later on the grown child, i.e., adolescent, young adult.

The next time you read/hear about a child being sexually abused, read this.

If this is how you want "progress" to be made, that is your choice.

It is a wrong choice.
