[quote=Anonymous]I am glad there is agreement that children should be taught that belittling and bullying is unacceptable. And now on to the SEPARATE issue of weight issues for children. We have allowed (subsidized by taxpayers) big agriculture to create an extremely toxic food environment and we allowed big auto (subsidized by taxpayers) to suppress public transportation projects a generation ago so people would be forced to be dependent on cars. So we now have many children and adults who are carrying extra weight. The mother of the son indicated that her family has made and is making lifestyle changes so I bet her son will be just fine. I don't think anyone is this country thinks being overweight or obese is desirable and OK. And I agree, we need to make sure children understand the importance of food choices and we need to ensure that children are getting plenty of exercise. [/quote]
