RE: My Kid is not Fat!

Bravo, Kevin! I've discussed this health issue many times with the person funded by the grant. There was certainly never any intent to tell parents that their children are "fat." Americans have a real problem with obesity, and all of us should do our best to eat healthy foods and exercise. That starts at home.
Rather than participating in sports or hiking or some other outdoor activity, too many kids spend their time watching TV or playing video games.
An overweight child usually grows up to be an unhappy, overweight adult. It's a vicious cycle.
