It's more the principle as I'm a pretty layed back person.
I find it ironic that the nurse at the school mentioned to my wife that my daughter should lose weight (this freaked my wife out) and a teacher is giving her candy, everyday.

While my daughter doesn't appear obese she could lose a couple of pounds and while her pediatrician is comfortable where she is, she'd also like to see a few pounds shed. BTW, she is a very active kid.

I caught wind of this about a week ago and the Yahoo report reminded me of my reaction.

Bottom line is I am concerned with my kid's future. The good eating habits that my wife and I reinforce daily are very important in preventing a lifetime of fighting a weight problem.
