So today the government have decided that all school age children from the age of four will be weighed at school and if found to be over weight a letter will be sent to parents outlining how to look after your childs weight. Personally i think young children have enough issues without the added pressure of them being told their overweight by a teacher. They worry about their weight now as young as ten do we really want our four year olds wanting to go on a diet?? Plus will other children bully children who are found to be overweight? At that age they may be overweight but that doesn't mean by adult hood they'll be obese. I personally am against it.

What do you all think about it?
