Oh great another thing obese women have to feel guilty about. My kids all have asthma and I wasn't obese when I had two of them. Explain that one will you? The one with the worst asthma is my eldest daughter and I was twenty three pounds under weight when I first got pregnant with her.  Go figure?  I don't see the proof in the article here.  Please if you are going to make wild claims about fat people why don't you do put the proof of it in your article and stop making wild claims that seriously make no sense.  Could it actually be that women with asthma don't excersize as much because they are having trouble breathing and get fat because of that and oh by the way they pass their genes on to their kids?
