I’ve had problems with Michelle Obama’s anti-Childhood Obesity campaign for a while, not because I don’t think it’s good for fat kids to exercise and eat well, but because I think making that point not only excludes all other kids who aren’t fat, but it further stigmatizes fat kids and can lead to real problems for them health-wise.

This Huffington Post article by Harriet Brown does a great job articulating exactly what the problems are and what programs like this do to fat kids.
