Doctors should not tell kids they are fat.Most of the kids who are dangerously obese have been made so by parents. Kids do not control what is placed on the table for breakfast and dinner.On the other hand public schools could do some simple things which would help kids keep weight off like schedule exercise and aerobics classes(this would increase the metabolism) in the morning and schedule exercise breaks for kids throughout the day. I have noticed many girls gain weight around puberty. If one of my kids gained a significant amount of weight in a short period of time I would homeschool to insure they were getting enough exercise and eating properly.

Sad thing is that things like PE and recess are going out the window at a lot of schools. A real shame and another contributing factor to the tremendous increase in porker children.
