Chaotic Households Contribute To Mothers' Obesity

The excusinators are working overtime.

"Putting food on the table, struggling with unemployment and meeting the relentless needs of young children all contribute to household stress. Now, a new study finds that these pressures also increase the possibility that a mother will be obese...

While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 32 percent of all Americans are obese, 41 percent of mothers were obese in this study. Thirty-eight percent of mothers in low-instability households were obese, while nearly 48 percent in high-instability households were obese."

A great opportunity to apply the adage, "If you cannot handle the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Just don't take any food with you.
