WDYT?
About the whole stink with Mrs. Obama and the whole weight issue (with children)?
Re: WDYT?
Can I please soapbox on first ladies (and first gentlemen) in general having a political role and how it pisses me off?
If you want to be politically involved, either do a grass-roots thing or get yourself elected. Who you're married to shouldn't be giving people of either gender platforms.
Yeah, no. Doctors are just as weight-biased as anyone, and I can't imagine that putting a kid on a diet is ever a good idea, because putting adults on diets isn't a good idea.
Promoting healthful eating and trying to get grocery stores and gardens into cities where they have not been is an admirable goal. It would help if the government stopped subsidizing corn, and if states wouldn't allow food stamps to buy prepared foods. But rattling on and on about the obesity moral panic as if it were truly a health risk for an entire population to have enough food - No.
I've only heard her talk about the BMI, which is inaccurate in adults, and useless for children. Many of the tests done on adults are useless for children, in fact, because children's bodies are always changing. Holding them to an adult standard of health in any area is a bad - and sometimes dangerous - idea.
