My child’s diet needs to be changed and he needs to lose weight. Well according to his school any way, their little table of heights and weights puts my son close to being obese.
My son is seven and a healthy active happy boy, he attends football training three times a week and plays matches twice a week, he’s always in the garden, kicking a ball or on the trampoline or running around.
He has one small chocolate bar twice a week, and four packets of crisps like wotsits or quavers four times a week.
The majority of his meals are healthy and nutritious, he has his recommended five fruits and veg a day. McDonald’s and take aways are a rare treat. But no my active “skinny” boy is verging on obese and we wonder why our children grow up with body confidence issues and are consumed with worry over their figure and diet.
My child is overweight My child is unhealthy
Now I understand that being healthy is important but shaming and scaring children because of a chart on someone’s computer is ridiculous.
I mean seriously have they looked at my child, there isn’t an ounce of “fat on him”. Girls especially grow up thinking they are fat or ugly and these charts and warnings at a young age does them no good at all and could be a factor in eating disorders in later life. What seven-year old wants to hear they’re fat, unhealthy and need to lose weight.
They even suggested that if we didn’t nip this in the bud now he is likely to be overweight as an adult, have health problems like type 2 diabetes or heart problems.
It is time the board of education stopped ticking boxes on a computer and actually look at our children.
A 640-lbs man and his 450-lbs wife had a rather unusual accident this year as the floor of their apartment collapsed during intense sexual intercourse, causing the couple to fall three stories lower.
Michael Davis and Theresa Walker from Liverpool, England were having rampan sex in their bedroom on the third floor of an apartment building when the structure collapsed.
The couple and their bed fell through three floors before bursting through a wall and ending up in a laundry room in the basement of the building.
Emergency services were rapidly called on the site and they were able to extract the unlucky lovers from their uncomfortable position.
Miraculously, the couple suffered only light injuries and no other residents of the building were injured as almost half of the 250-year old building collapsed.
Tom Watson, another resident of the building, claims the accident was predictable and could and should have been avoided.
“This couple had very loud sex a few times a week and the entire structure would shake every time. The walls cracked and the light flickered. This is an old building, it clearly wasn’t built to endure this kind of stress!”
Mr. Watson says the landlord was aware of the situation but did nothing to correct it.
“He said the fact that they were overweight didn’t justify their expulsion and he offered to build an additional support beam in my living room. Even if the rent is cheap, most of the other tenants had already left because th situation was unbearable”
Indeed, the two apartments below the couple have been unoccupied for months, a fact that explains the absence of casualties.
The Liverpool City Police have opened an investigation and some forensic engineers have been called to the site to determine the exact cause of the collapse and whether the landlord is to blame for an unstable structure.
