Mothers On Low-Income Risk Obesity To Feed Their Children

Where madness meets bulls**t.

Mothers who financially struggle to provide food for their families tend to put themselves at risk of obesity while trying to feed their children, according to Penn State sociologists.

Mothers who do not have enough money to provide adequate food for their families - food-insecure - are more likely to be obese or overweight than fathers who face food shortages, as well as food-insecure, childless women and men, said Molly Martin, assistant professor of sociology and demography. Over time, these food-insecure mothers also gain more weight compared to all food-insecure men and food-insecure women not caring for children.

You get fat from eating too much food, i.e., too many Calories.

This is the same reasoning that explains why rich people are money-insecure.

Pity the poor rich.
