I can hear it now. The woman tells her therapist, "I'm fat because my mom worked too much."
The problem here is correlation and not causation. In other words, the study found there was a relationship between working moms and fat kids. Causation would be, kids are fat because their mommys work.
That is like saying the radio makes people crazy. Yes they may listen to the radio, but is the radio the cause, is it making them crazy?.
The reason kids are fat is the same reason kids were fat before moms started working, they eat too much.
