Fat Women Face Lower Income

It seems that body mass decreases a woman's family income - according to a study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research. The researchers blame the outcome on the "marriage market"

"Women who are heavier for their height tend to have lower chances of getting married in the first place. If they do get married they tend to marry spouses who have less earning power and they also have a higher likelihood of getting divorced," he said. "All those three factors reduce their total family income."

Ironically overweight men experience no economic outcome.
