Sensitivity? My a*se!

Why should doctors be sensitive when dealing with weight issues that affect long term health?

Doctors will provid[e] parents with gentle prompts to encourage discussion about their child's weight.

Some parents may need a more direct approach even if phrases such as "Fat b*stard", "lardy", "tubby" and "early death" are prohibited!

We need to be honest with those bloaters who keep feeding their kids too many sweets and crisps and turning them into right fat f*ckers.
What ever happened to straight talking? :)

Was just listening to a local English language radio station on the way in and the guy was saying that somewhere in the States there will be a summer camp for overweight kids, fair enough but the thing that made me take notice was that he said that it was mainly for five to ten year olds.
Parents should be held accountable for the physical condition of their kids, I remember when I was at school it was the parents of the skinny/scrawny looking kids who the social services wanted to talk to.
