Living with kids increases the fat in your diet

A new study shows that having children in your home could be hurting your diet, if you're not careful. I think everyone would agree that most "kid friendly" kitchens are stocked with things like hot dogs, mac and cheese, and Oreo cookies. Having these things around makes it easier for the adults in the house to eat them also, not to mention families with young children make more visits to fast food restaurants. One researcher was quoted as saying "Adults pick up foods the kids want, so the kids end up driving the nutrition habits of the household instead of parents." According to the study adults living with children eat an average of 5 more grams of fat per day than someone who doesn't have kids around. That's equal to an extra personal-size pizza each week!
