Working Mothers Cause Childhood Obesity, Study Finds

So Get Back Into the Kitchen Lady

Minneapolis - A recent study published by the USDA confirms what proponents of family values have known all along – that mothers who work outside the home are the main cause of kids being fat. The study highlighted the fact that between 1970 and 1999 the number of children classified as obese increased, as did the number of mothers of kids under six working outside the home. Although some experts cautioned that “correlation is not the same as causation,” heroes such as CNN’s Kiran Chetry know that Americans don’t need to be lectured by a bunch of nerds.

Local agitator Mindy was not impressed by the study. “The very premise of this study is wrong-headed. Why doesn’t the study talk about families where both parents work outside the home instead of blaming everything on the mother? I mean, I can see someone making the argument that with both parents working that it might be harder for parents to prepare nutritious meals for the kids but why isn’t this study talking about the fathers?”

Oh Mindy, hilarious! Seriously, you should think about starting your own blog.
