I am sure most of you saw this but just in case someone needs that extra motivation to get healthy, this may do it.

Obese moms are 67% more likely to have a child with autism. Since over a third of U.S. women in their childbearing years are obese, it's not that surprising to me that more and more cases of autism are diagnosed.
