I commented on another thread about the tubbies in school. This is just another attempt to educate children on good eating habits. Remember the four food group lessons in elementary people? While that information is passe nowadays, at least this is an attempt to show a student that is over the 95% BMI that continuing with this eating pattern he/she MAY be on a path to obesity.
Obviously, by this time the parents either can’t or won’t do anything about correcting juniors obsession with food and lack of exercise. Our daughter’s BMI was normal (on the skinny side) but normal.
Flame away.
Umm! Yeah. Since my husband is 6’ tall, between 195-200 pounds and has hardly any body fat, yet still rates high on the BMI, I consider the BMI to be BS.
