Call A Fat Kid Fat

According to the Associated Press, a committee of medical experts has recommended that "Doctors ought to quit using fuzzy terms to define children's weight problems and instead refer to truly fat kids as overweight or obese". Amen. Such children are often euphamistically referred to as "at risk for overweight". This country is facing a serious obesity problem, and telling those who are obese that they may have a slight problem is not going to cut it.
