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

If a kid's fat, they fucking KNOW they're fat, whether it's purely self-awareness, or - more likely - other kids TELLING them they're fat. It's not like he doc's gonna whip out the "o-word" and the kid's gonna go "ummm...okaaayy... wow, that's, uh, that's news to me". I highly doubt they'll go into shock after hearing it; it's the parents that are probably in denial and defensive over their parenting skills and don't want to be told the way they're raising their kids is killing them...
