Obesity only effects fat people, I know this because the government is constantly reminding us that we are all getting too fat / bonny / obese. Just as soon as I have had my diet I'm always ready for my dinner!
Not only that but the number of male children born is now falling. According to a research story on Reuters. Women on low-calorie diets or who skip breakfast at the time of conception are more likely to give birth to girls than boys. So if you are fat you get a girl and if you are thin you get a boy. If you are in the middle - Ah well that's another story!

New research by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford provides the first evidence that a child's sex is associated with the mother's diet. A higher energy intake is linked to males. "This research may help to explain why in developed countries, where many young women choose to have low-calorie diets, the proportion of boys born is falling. If a mother has plentiful resources then it can make sense to invest in producing a son because he is likely to produce more grandchildren than would a daughter. However, in leaner times having a daughter is a safer bet." said Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter.
