Title: Fighting Fat in Fargo
Post by: microsoft windows on Thu, 31 October 2013, 08:22:54
Just read an interesting article where one concerned lady in Fargo, ND is going to hand out letters to obese children rather than giving them candy on Halloween. Do you all think she is doing the right thing?

I'm not quite sure what to think about it so far, but I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Also just because someone thinks a child 'looks' obese doesn't mean they have unhealthy eating habits anymore so than a skinny child who eats junk all the time, believe me, I have a 5yr who we have been trying to fatten up her entire life and it just isn't happening....
