Childhood Obesity Tripled When Mothers Left Home En Masse, Venker Claims

The Career Trap That Makes Women Miserable - Suzanne Venker - #1113
What was said
"The obesity, the childhood obesity, which tripled in the last 50 years, happened at the same time mothers left the home en masse. Because who do you think was cooking before? Before when we didn't have the obesity crisis, why was that? People talk about chemicals and oils and that's all fine and great, but the truth is there was a mom in a kitchen cooking."
Venker links the tripling of childhood obesity over 50 years to the mass entry of mothers into the workforce, arguing that home-cooked meals disappeared when no one was home during the day. She frames this as a lifestyle consequence of dual-income families that gets overlooked in obesity debates.
