“All scientific research begins at the anecdotal level.”

OK, but it ends at the “evidence” level. Amazingly, there is this statistical phenomenon called a Bell curve. Whether or not you have actually met any fat homeschooled children is a moot point.

Institutionalized kids tend to fall at the fat end of the bell curve, and homeschoolers tend to fall at the slim and fit end.

That is my observation. Perhaps a researcher with experience in this area, will investigate it.

In the meantime.....parents must make their own observations, and make decisions based on imperfect information. Perhaps, they will see, as I do, that homeschoolers are slim and fit, and the rolly pollies riding the government school buses are not.
