They aren't in cali. I saw this one on the Daily Show- I think Jon Stewart got the word out, not his dad.

You can read Chuckie, but ignore TRB? Lol, reading Chuckie is far more sadistic.

I would love to see the actuary table that indicates this baby is more of a risk than a 14 year old healthy kid.

I am sorry but babies that are otherwise healthy will not exhibit medical issues until they are applying for their own insurance. Actuarially speaking a fat baby is a better risk than a healthy skinny teen.

Where do you get your facts Epi? You should cite them.

So you suspect fat babies have alot of cardio pulmonary problems? I do not have any facts and should have said I suspect at the beginning of my second sentence.

However I have never observed a person with a fat baby having health problems. There may be lifelong problems as the fat damages the bodies but I have not observed serious health problems associated with babies. Now teen are another story, healthy teens get mono, they break limbs, get pregnant, are injured in accidents.

So to be fair, I will look and see if I can find any statistically significant known health problems associated with Fat babies.


most things I have read indicate problems later in life as I indicated above.

I can't find any short term health problems associated with infant obesity. Surreal do you have some facts anecdotal or otherwise?

lots of problems later in life. PS I am not trying to say make fat babies is good. Just don't see where dear old insurer is going to have to pay that much more for blubber boy while on mom and dads insurance. Later in life there is ample evidence that you probably should have not quieted your baby every time with a bottle.

I didn't say anything of the sort. Why are you trying to put words in my mouth?

Don't get you panties in a bunch I am not trying to bash you I was not putting words in your mouth. I just felt your question indicated that you had some knowledge that made you question my overly confident statement.
