Fat the new ugly on the Playground!!!

I stumbled across this article and found it sad that little kids that do not even know what the word "fat" means are calling other little kids fat!  In today's society and world, if your not a size 2 or 4 then your considered FAT!  The way children see themselves now, is because of how their parents talk about weight or what they see on TV.  In this article it said children as young as 5 years- old are worrying about their weight and what they look like.  This is just down right sad!  Children should not have to worry about going to school and being called names of any kind.  Unfortunately, the society we live in today is all wrapped up in what we look like, if we are thin enough!  I know that I am not a skinny mini and I never will be.  I wish that we could all just be happy with how we are and how we look.  But I know this will never happen.  It is sad that our children are learning at very young ages that it is not normal for you to have a healthy body, that your not going to amount to anything if your not skinny like the girls on the magazine cover or the girls on TV.  Children should not have to worry about their weight at the age of 5, coming home and telling their siblings that if they eat that they will get fat.  This should not even be anywhere near their little worlds or minds.  They are children that are learning from everything that they are seeing around them and some of the things that they are seeing is going to affect their lives for years to come.
