Stay at Home vs. Work Debate

That is pretty judgemental dont you think? Who says the Walmart cashier is so uneducated she cant read the side panel of a fruit roll up box?

In this economy alot of those cashiers may hold University educations. So your theorizing leaves alot to be proven in order to make such a statement factual.

If anything it would be a cost  issue, buying what is less expensive b/c of income restrictions then an education issue.

Besides the article said there were no class differences, the outcome was the same for each income level.

"It found that, regardless of ethnicity, maternal education or job level, children whose mothers worked part or full time were less likely to eat fruits or vegetables at meals or as snacks."

People are too apt to conclude that someone is condemning someone else for being of a different social class when in fact they are merely remarking that there are indeed differences among the classes.

Which are what exactly, since this article concluded the exact opposite.

I think that the study compared WOHMs and SAHMs at each SES level. IOW, the effect, i.e. that WOHM kids had more unhealthy snacks than SAHM kids, obtained across all social classes, but that does not necessarily mean that the effect presented the same across all social classes.

It could mean, as an example, that in the high SES, SAHM kids never had soda, but WOHM kids had soda sometimes, whereas in the low SES group SAHM kids had soda sometimes, but WOHM kids had it all the time.

Do you really think they did it by Socioeconimic class? Like compare the higher class WOHM to the higher class SAHM?

I generally thought these studies were done based on age, Ie compare 1 year olds to 1 year olds.
