CNN.com report on a new study indicating that "
Most Obese Moms, Kids Underestimate Weight." In this study, a significantly higher portion of obese women underestimated their own weight. The obese children interviewed by the researchers also underestimated their weight by a significant portion. How might significant underestimation of weight impact a parent or child's overall health and well-being? Should regular weigh-ins be part of a school curriculum in order to increase the child's awareness of his or her "real" weight?
