[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 531224, member: 455"] I just stumbled upon this [URL="http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/05/09/prepregnancy-obesity-tied-to-lower-child-test-scores/38406.html"]article[/URL] linked from somewhere else. I am, well, really unbelievably stunned! I can not believe that they would even consider this. I am, as well as several of my family members and others I know heavy and yes, could be considered obese by standards. 2 of my difficult children are above normal in cognitive functioning, 1 of which is actually near genius level! Other family members are just as intelligent as well. Several being born from obese parentage. I guess this just offended me a bit because it's like saying "fat people have dumb kids" and in fact the place I stumbled upon it actually had a caption like that. Sad! :( [/QUOTE]
