I was thinking about the news paper I read this morning about this girl whose school labeled her as overweight after being given a BMI test. I remember this documentary I watched a couple years back. It had a study that suggested that by the age of 6 years old, children were affected by body image. When asked, what body image that they wanted to be, the children - I think the sample were females - all picked the ones ones on the slimmer side. Anyway, the thing about BMI. I was reading the Metro Talk section and I read a comment where a person said that his or her daughter was adult now and after being labelled fat by BMI testing as a child, the daughter still had body image problems.
