Bad news for parents

This lead from a Reuters story today:
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Adults living with young children eat significantly more fat than grown-ups with no kids at home, a new study shows.
I also read earlier this week - no joke - that having children is the single biggest predictor of future bankruptcy. The timing of all this research coming out is pretty uncanny, as I have spent a few months working on some parenting-themed greeting cards. Among the ones I think will do well with this new info in mind:
  1. The Get Well Soon Card: "You may be fat, but at least you're not broke."
  2. The Thinking of You Card: "You may be broke, but at least you're not fat."
  3. The Expectant Mother Card: "Children are a miracle. Try not to get fat and broke."
  4. The Expectant Mother Card 2.0: "If you're thin and rich now, get ready! Things are going to change!"
  5. The Newlyweds Card: "Congratulations on your wedding! Take lots of pictures so when you have kids, you can show them what you looked like before you got fat and broke!"
Anybody have an email for Hallmark?
