[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look around our neighborhoods and schools, and there simply is not an obesity epidemic in our part of fairfax county.

Yes, it is a problem in some areas of the country, mostly lower socioeconomic.

It is just not likely that your child will encounter any obese kids in his fcps, and only a few overweight kids.

You are making an issue of a non issue, why? Meanness? Holier than thou complex? Unhealthy focus on how important it is to be skinny?

Looking around all the kids I see at my kids' schools, running around the neighborhood, at after school activities, in stores, restaurants, church, etc, and how very few of them are even close to being overweight, I can't for the life of me figure out how this dillema actually crossed your mind.[/quote]

Yes, our kids go to an elementary in DC and I have never seen any obese kid there, and maybe only a handful are a bit overweight but on the external look pretty healthy and are constantly on the go, playing and running and keeping up normally, etc. I also don't understand why OP is coming up with this imposed agenda onto her kid. Do whatever you want with him by explaining healthy habits, eating well, etc., and ONLY deal with issues of "bullying" IF your child does it. Why start calling his attention to something he''s probably not even aware of? [/quote]
