You call a fat kid, FAT.

I picked up this news over the media about the doctors’ new stand. Apparently, they used to label fat kids with nice names so as to make them less inferior about their weight issues. However, all these nice labels are giving the kids the lack of desire to lose weight. So, now they are into labelling fat kids as obese and not something sweeter like ‘potential to be overweight’ or some politically correct phrases like that.
I think as parents, we have the heavy responsibility to make sure that our kids grow up with good self-image of themselves. We certainly do not want them to get low esteem with names like porky, fatty, fatso, roundie and ugly names like that. So, ultimately, it lies on us to make sure that they get proper nutrition and adequate exercise.
Of course, if you are an adult and hate the names, then try natural weight loss products.
