I recently got this poll from sodahead in my email: http://www.sodahead.com/living/are-f...stion-3910459/
The poll regards the fact that some schools may start mailing 'fat letters' informing parents that their child is obese. I found it interesting and surprising that so many thought it harmful, but who knows perhaps it is. Personally I think it wouldn't hurt to at least inform some parents of the issue. It took many many years for my mother to admit I had a weight problem and by then it was too late and I was stuck in my bad habits. Perhaps if they added nutritional information or short free sessions to inform the parents of said children on proper diet and exercise it would be more beneficial. I am sure there are some out there who don't know how to properly feed a child, my mother sure didn't. She lived with the belief that if a child demands food give it to them and don't worry about the sweets they'll run it off. I was curious what others here thought because we all have faced the obesity demon here and may have a different perspective to bring. What do you think?
