Pregnancy a Cause of Obesity?

Soon to be 6 year old Henderson resident Ben expressed his concern today over the apparent increase in girth experienced by expecting mothers. "Moms are fat when they have babies", he said in a statement made to his father as they waited in line at a local Wendy's drive-through.

While young Ben has never experienced pregnancy firsthand he was intimately involved in his mother's first pregnancy 6 years ago, and has been witness to pregnancy's waist increasing effects on many occasions.

Ben, who has often expressed desires for a little sister, went on to say "I hope my mom doesn't have twins. I don't want her to look like the people on Wall E- on the ship". (Note: Pixar's latest masterpiece, Wall E, features morbidly obese characters aboard a space-cruise ship.)

When asked if there are other causes of surplus portliness Ben only replied "Your face".
