Hey, Fat Kid...

Yes, parents and their overweight children are TOTALLY UNAWARE, after attending public school for years, that they *might* have a weight problem. There would just be no way for them to tell. They couldn't possibly use their eyes and see that they might be "bigger" than other kids their own age. The positive peer group certainly would never call attention to any weight discrepancy between themselves and their larger classmate.

We *need* the state to weigh these children and determine their BMIs, so that parents and their children can be aware of this growing problem! (pun intended LOL!) Heaven forbid parents OPT OUT of such a program - how dare they! And probably the fat kids' parents are the ones doing the "opting out," too! No fair!

Helloooo, Arkansas, these poor children deal with enough merciless teasing from their classmates. They already can figure out that they're fat and that they should "eat less and exercise more." Genius time. What they *don't* need is more pressure from the school than they're already probably getting. Will that solve the problem? Probably not. But do you know what?

You should mind your own stinkin' business and leave these families ALONE.
