School To Girl: You're Fat

Now I'm starting to understand why the government thinks there's an obesity epidemic. 

‘Lily is tall, athletic, solid muscle -- by no means is she overweight,’ the concerned mother told WFTX before showing a refrigerator stocked with healthy foods.

The letter, sent after a health screening by the Collier County Health Department, cited her body mass index (BMI) as the reason she’s considered obese. These notices have been derisively referred to across the country as ‘fat letters.’

A baffled Kristen Grasso was at odds with the message being sent to young girls when a healthy child is being labeled as fat, she told the station."

 

Lilly Grasso isn't fat. On the contrary (aside from being pretty) she looks quite athletic. If Grasso is constitutes "fat" then we have a bigger problem on our hands: Health officials. Talk about risking more complexes among girls already vulnerable to social pressures about their looks.

Maybe the shutdown should extend to the fat heads at the Collier County Health Department.

 

BMI index is not a fucking means to an end. 

 

What a dreadful thing has happened here.
