In my opinion i think working moms indeed contribute to childhood obesity as there is a need to cut corners which leads to the child been introduced to fast food and less organic foods.

Very thoughtful article. For a fresh take on building strong careers and families, check out Getting to 50/50 -- on how men and women share roles with all sorts of good results -- including a healthier sex life. The book also debunks some common myths that cause many moms to back away from their jobs. Authors Sharon Meers (a Goldman MD now in tech) and Joanna Strober (a private equity exec) share their often funny tales of combining work and family. Definitely a book worth checking out. www.gettingto5050.blogspot.com
