5-year-old Girl Told She is 1% Overweight and at Risk for Cancer
However when the body mass index was used, she was found to be 1% overweight and authorities issued a letter to her mother 38-year-old Susan Davies, who was shocked at receiving it.
"‘I understand they need to educate parents about healthy eating – but I found this quite insulting," Mrs Davies said. "If it wasn’t all so official and a school nurse could ring up for a chat, then it might do more good. The only thing she’s said about it so far is, “I’m not fat, am I?”. I said, “Of course you’re not, you’re perfect."
Bournemouth and Poole Primary Care Trust officials said parents must know about the dangers of obesity.
