Autism linked to Fat Moms

[pornstarwannabe]

Just saw a report on Nightly News. Fat moms are 1.6 time more likely (compared to non-fat moms) to have an Autistic child. And 2 times more likely if the mom has diabetes. The study of moms of 1000 kids. It was an observation and not a scientific study. But still... if proven to be correct, fat moms should be charged with child abuse.

Without looking, I woukd guess that it is due to the low quality american diet and not the fatness per se. I'd bet the farm on it. Our food supply is poison garbage, making.people fat, and surely affecting fetuses.

From reading your post, I believe that you may have an autistic child.

Otherwise, why would you post something of this nature?

If you were addressing me, then I have to tell you a few things. I am a guy, and I have no kids. Why did I mention it? Because fat moms are 1.6x more likely to give birth to an autistic child. That's pretty big news.

That explains everything. Thanks...

Everything? Including Einstein's Theory of General Relativity? And his Unified Theory? Great. I am smarter than I thought.

A lot of moms are fat.

They eat compulsively because the food makes them feel better.

They are discontent with their lives and relationships and find comfort in food.

And what a shame that they are increasing the likelihood of their child being born with Autism. Maybe once they see the news report, they'll put their fat asses on a diet.

Or they could sit around all day watching soap operas and eating chocolates hoping for some miracle.

Yeah... Well last week I heard a report that old sperm was responsible for up to 80% of birth defects.
Any guy over 35 should not be having kids.

Age carries risk. The difference is that a man over 35 knows the risks, but cannot alter his age. A fat woman, knowing the risk, can alter her weight (i.e. decide not to be fat for the sake of the child).

See the difference?

Older women carry risk factors, such as Downs too. No old, fat parents.

So a man over 35, knowing the risks, should be charged with child endangerment if he impregnates his wife?

I was not saying that. I only stated that a mn knows the risks and cannot do anything to alter his age. just like a black man cannot alter his skin color. A fat woman can alter her weight. And if she chooses not to, and willfully gives birth to an autistic child, well... that fat woman is choosing her fat over the health of her child. I call that child abuse.

Hmm. In both instances the parent has a known risk factor.

And in both instances the parent can take steps to minimize the likelihood of procreating.

No meaningful difference.

Was your mom obese when you were born, by any chance?

And a guy over 35 can alter whether or not he uses his high-risk sperm to get a woman pregnant.

Fat middle-aged housewife?

Same goes for the fat lady. Now where do we go from here?

We don't go anywhere since you just admitted your logic was absurd.

No I did not. What post were you reading? Difference is we have a right to procreate. No law against that. But a fat woman that knowingly increases the risk is a child abuser because she lacks the will power to be "not fat" is a child abuser if the kid is born with autism.

Pretty much the way all his threads end.

You just admitted it was the same as the fat lady.... *facepalm*

And the 35+ year old guy knowingly increases the risk of all kinds of deformities by attempting to create a baby with his shoddy sperm.

Fat women also have the same right to procreate as thin ones.
