In relation to the comment about children being more likely to have health tourbles and to be overweight when they are older - wouldn't it make sense that those of us who are overweight already may have poorer habits and therefor teach our children our poorer habits which would lead to the problems when they are older?  How can we know that is has anything to do with what the mother's weight is during pregnancy?
