a link to "leave the fat kids alone."

I haven't even read all of this (I have dripping hair and I need to make and eat breakfast, make M's lunch, and drive to a workshop site where I will sit in the parking lot on a conference call until 10...)But, please give this a read, and comment.One paragraph I like in reference to SLATE.com's quest to find the answer to childhood obesity and solicitation of "solutions" from readers...These proposals are so plainly ill-advised, so thoroughly at odds with the available evidence on the causes of obesity, and so utterly detrimental to the welfare of our children, that I can only indulge in the fantasy that they're meant as satire. Let's be realistic, though: They're not. And their presence in the Hive—among many other suggestions, to be sure—reflects the danger of equating a child's health with the shape of his body.Can't wait to get back and read it all! Hope there is nothing awful in the last 1/3...
