Arkansas to Cut the Flab (Report Cards)
The Arkansas House approved a bill that would eliminate the state's obesity report cards on the grounds they are harmful to children's self-esteem. But others defend the practice, saying the letter sent home to parents is an important wake-up call.
"Some of them really don't know their child is overweight until they get the letter," explained Dr. Karen Young of Arkansas Children's Hospital.
Maybe the answer is eye exams for parents.
