Today we are talking about the recent proposal to weigh kids in schools as a way to identify obesity.
You know how much we love it when we are reduced to numbers on the BMI and now that is being applied to children as they grow. It had us asking the question WTF?!
As adults we have lived through years of being labelled and our value determined based on the category which we fall. We don't wish to repeat history to bringing in this measure alone.
And never fear, we have come up with alternative uses for government funding in schools to help with the health of our children - mental and physical health.
Here's the media release that we reference: https://www.acn.edu.au/media-release/every-school-aged-child-should-have-access-to-a-registered-nurse-to-maintain-healthy-weight
