Default Re: Should doctors tell obese kids they're obese?

A 9 year old doesn't become 40lbs overweight on their own beyond real genetic problems that would cause her to be so it is not only the child it's the parent(s) that need to be rattled.

Beyond "vanity" it's also health reasons that obesity in children is a serious matter.
