One in three kids in America is overweight or obese, and having stressed-out parents may be contributing to these rates, a new study suggests.

Why? For starters, stressed-out parents and caregivers are more likely to frequent fast food restaurants for themselves and their families, and are more likely to engage in haphazard meal planning.
