I'm not pro-obesity; don't get me wrong. I am anti-dieting, because I don't think dieting helps anything, not even obesity for that matter.
There is a risk for things like programs in the school, where kids' BMIs are measured and they have fingers wagged at them if they're too heavy. That's like giving people a pill that will make them anorexic. There has to be some balance here. You don't want to stigmatize eight-year-old kids because their BMI rating is two points higher than somebody thinks it should be.
