[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's a fine line at all. It's one thing to focus on healthy behaviors and the consequences of unhealthy behaviors (obesity and subsequent health problems). It's another thing to go out of your way to be nasty to other people, especially children, who as children cannot really control their own weights unless they have the right adult support to do so. You also seem to be extremely focused on obesity. The problem isn't obesity. The problem is unhealthy habits and the health problems that often originate from obesity. It sounds like you're teaching your kid "fat is bad" instead of "broccoli is good." There is no excuse to be nasty to other children about this. [/quote]
