Not entirely true. We have two incomes in our home...and well my kids ....which I will tell you are really close in age. The oldest has a waist that fits size 28 pants...and is 14 and the younger is of a fit size 36 pants, he's 13. Income has no influence on weight.

When I was growing up...I happened to have the smaller waist and my sis the larger waist....and we were of two incomes.

Weird thing is that 14 year old can eat a lot and not gain any of the weight. And the younger can eat a lot, but he gains the weight. In which I've done my best to control his eating. And they don't indulge on "junk food". Heck. I still have a basket full of last years Halloween candy.
