Britain's Biggest Babies - warning of a UK TV Programme

[Labarum]

Tonight on ITV a programme on the problems of big babies - when born and as they grow - the reviewer regrets the question of an infant's diet is not addressed, nor that of his mother:

Re: Britain's Biggest Babies - warning of a UK TV Programme

An interesting programme. As much about obese mothers as big babies.

Studies show infants develop a taste for junk food, if that is what their mothers were eating.

An experiment feeding rats junk food shows exactly the same results as we are seeing in humans. Imagine it - feeding rats junk food!

Sometimes obese mothers have small babies, but they tend to overeat and grow extremely rapidly, with the same end result.

A depressing programme.

US members should note that "a full bag of chips" eaten by the one year old means a bag of French Fries from a British Fish and Chip Shop - a very generous adult portion.

It may be on "Catchup TV" at least for UK members.
