Only children are more likely to be obese, study says

published Wednesday.

The study looked at the eating habits and body weight of only children -- called"singletons" by researchers -- and found they had less healthy eating habits and beverage choices than families with multiple children.While the sample size was small and the study could not establish cause and effect, it does"raise an interesting point that we need to better understand," said pediatrician Dr. Natalie Muth, who chairs the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Obesity.

As a child I was given FRESH fruit and forzen veggies daily. As an adult I eat a 🍌🍊 🍅 🥑 🍄 spinach 5 days a week. Oh!I eat like that so I can have a bowl of ice cream 🍨 daily.. 🤦🏻‍♂️... 😂!! Obesity is not a FN disease its a lifestyle!

A study conducted by people that don't have children

Well no shit. They got no one to fight them for the last piece of chicken

Really?! Who wants ppl to have more children? Who did this study?

Spoiled kids eating crap

Because for some reason 'immigrants' have more children than they can afford.

Interesting.

I thought they would be more motivated to get their ass out there and find friends. Perhaps not?

No one to chase around and they always get the last piece of food.

Can confirm. My many siblings used to tie me to a stop sign before dinner. Had to dig for grubs. Hard to become obese under these conditions.

Sorry, I'm still not having another one.

Only children are mistakes that parents learned from.

Gotta stay fit so your siblings don't whoop up on you.
