We prefer "big boned"

Sugarcoating is what got these kids fat in the first place.

Key quote: "For several years the CDC has recommended that clinicians classify children who are overweight -- above the 85th percentile on growth charts that track height, weight and age -- as at 'risk of overweight.'

"Those above the 95th percentile are called overweight -- rather than obese -- to avoid stigmatizing them."


Doesn't "at risk" mean you're not there yet?
