Study links womb environment to childhood obesity

Fat parents have fat kids.
New evidence has linked the environment in the womb with increased body weight in later life.

They then linked these changes to a higher Body Mass Index (BMI) in children aged about nine years of age.
Another reason why the fat should not reproduce.
