Hating your mother means you're twice as likely to grow up fat

Children who have a poor emotional relationship with their mother are more than twice as likely to become obese, research claims.

A study found toddlers who struggle with their mothers are at higher risk of being grossly overweight by the time they are 15.

Those who had the worst emotional relationship were almost two-and-half times more likely to be obese at 15 than those with a strong bond.

Meanwhile, only 13 per cent who had close bonds in their formative years became obese.

U.S. researchers studied nearly 1,000 toddlers and their mothers at play then rated how strong the bond was between mother and child.

The participants were then assessed for obesity at 15.

The prevalence of obesity in adolescence was 26.1 per cent among children with the poorest early maternal-child relationships according to the research, which will appear in the online Journal of Paediatrics next month.

Ohio State University epidemiology professor Sarah Anderson said eating comfort food throughout childhood could be linked to youngsters not being given the right tools to deal with stress.

She said: ‘It is possible childhood obesity could be influenced by interventions that try to improve the emotional bonds between mothers and children rather than focusing only on children’s food intake and activity.

‘We need to think about how we can support better-quality maternal-child relationships because that could have an impact on child health.

LOL.....it is not really off topic because Mother/child relationship is crucial in early childhood for emotional healthy people—as is the father/child bond a little later. All worldview/reality is pretty much set in the formative years—0-7 years. Freud was right in this area.

What happens to children in early years determine their future longterm relationships AND whether they will be fat or not—eat too much and wrong type of foods because of emotional problems or habituation in early childhood of junk food and exercise levels. Sitting in front of the TV is habituated.

Sure, there are other factors, but with no nurturing loving mothers—children are really set up to fail in all areas of life. There are exceptions but It is a miracle if they don’t fail.

I would agree with all the very useful comments on this thread posted by savagesusie.

And there is political relevance. Because, basically, it was LBJ who decided to use the welfare system to break up families, against the advice of Senator Pat Moynihan, who was one of the last Democrats standing with any real moral sense.

Break up the families, write the welfare rules so the fathers have to leave the house to ensure welfare payments for the mother and children. Moynihan noted that blacks were at a tipping point, and his warning was ignored—or, rather, misused. They deliberately tipped it further, resulting in new generations of blacks growing up in broken homes, and they had them on the Democrat plantation forever. At least until the system breaks down in a Cloward Piven kind of way.

And, increasingly, white families as well.

If our country is ever to recover, it will require a return to religion and family, first.

You just need to turn down everything by a couple of notches. You’re preaching to the choir, most people here agree with what you say, but you mustn’t present the truth via a sledge hammer. Nuance is everything. I have NO doubt that your threads/comments are being saved by the other side and posted on their websites. You’re obviously very intelligent, but you can be more effective by including compassion with your facts.

If 5 and 6 year olds weren’t starting to get brainwashed by the perverts and Sanduskies and Jennings in January in all California Public Schools—it would not be so dire.

The corruption of the minds and thinking of Kindergarteners is pretty hard to allow—and the millions of little kids in California starting in January are going to be taught and made to think about despicable—odious acts. It is PURE EVIL. I just read another book about the privacy necessary for normal sexual identity formation in the latency period. Group sex ed is designed by Cultural Marxists—to remove morality from sex acts and make it meaningless—remove the mystery, awe and beauty. Immature children are not ready to understand sex acts—and they shouldn’t need to unless they want children to model the behavior—like in the Brave New World (which Brown wants).

Any sexual education curricula written for elementary school is by perverts to corrupt and condition little kids to think sodomy is “great”. Paving the way for Sanduskies to use them. Trying to create and make way for muslim ideology—like in Afghanistan. Destroy Christian Ethics and instill the ANcient Greek/muslim/Samurai worldview. It is so disgusting to me-—I have raised boys and worked with children and understand exactly what the marxists want.

AND the other sickening thing-—the producers that probably have a boy sex ring in Hollywood—those producers who passed the boys (Corey’s around) ARE NOT IN JAIL. They are STILL passing boys around—probably to California politicians and elite judges and millionaires—could be Jerry Brown for all we know. Why would Brown allow for indoctrination of children into evil, destructive behavior that is intrinsically disordered and learned through child abuse?

And—did you read the Log Cabin Republican guy-—the one filming boys in the shower in the Catholic Middle School? Homosexuality is all about the boys. It always was and NAMBLA and all their literature is very clear about their intent.

It is right from Satanic cults and the Bohemian Grove groups. John Maynard Keynes was another one with his elite homosexual orgies and boys. This is not a small group of people—it is much, much larger than you think. Why do you think Corey Feldman did not DARE to name names? The very powerful and rich are involved like in the Franklin Cover-up.

It is sickening. Jerry Brown is evil—he knows nothing about child development and is taking orders from a homosexual who advocates teenage boys combing bars trolling for old men. He forces teachers to glorify disgusting pederasts like Milk. Really disgusting and parents are allowing their innocent children to be conditioned into Afghani worldview To destroy Natural Law, our Natural Rights from God-and they make the Bible hate speech while they are at it. The muslims are smiling.

I know most Freepers know what is going on-—I am just hoping someone like Rush Limbaugh will speak about it-—he dances around the subject. He is too frightened of the homosexual mafia—they destroy everyone who goes against their agenda—I have read The Marketing of Evil. I know their agenda and methods. They are the most evil and most powerful group controlling America today. They are TOTALLY TRANSFORMING this nation to a godless sick, evil one—within one generation. They have the captive “plastic” minds of the children—exactly like Lenin.

Compassion for evil is in itself evil. It is why we—as a society—are now saying “Evil is Good” in our schools to our children.

It is why—the Christian Church has ceased to be relevant—they refuse to call sin, “sin”.

That Jesus would have any compassion for those who would destroy the innocence of children-—as he so loved the little children—is where I come from. The extreme evil of corrupting children NEVER deserves any compassion. Just condemnation. Tolerance of Evil is always EVIL.
