I just heard from a teen that next year the local high school will be taking % of fat measurements of all students and posting this information on quarterly report cards.

Great. Let's take all the fat out of a toddler's diet so they're not "overweight" and give them whole host of physiological problems.

What's missing here is what should be done... If your child is overweight, he or she probably needs to get more exercise. And you as the parent probably do too. So get outside and play a game of tag.

"Under the new guidelines for the first time, Stark announced, the body mass index will be used for American children under two.I assure you, doing this will cause much more damage than potentially realized as ignorant parents will try to adhere to this nonsense and feed - or NOT FEED - their child properly because they THINK they are too fat. This is insane.

Around the time my toddler was born I read about a study that found a connection between obesity in children and drinking juice. My two year old son has only had juice a few times. His doctor seems to think that this is great.
There are some people who would go too far in the quest to limit the weight of their children. It's OK to limit junk food, but children under 2 are not supposed to be drinking low-fat milk.
