Fat Kids are Bullied More

http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/05/03/obesity.bullying/index.html?hpt=Sbin

What an insightful article on www.cnn.com today!!! Did you know obese children are more susceptible to bullies? Well, according to author Anne Harding, "Children in Grades 3 through 6 who are obese are more likely to be bullied than their normal-weight peers, a new study has found." Figures the lead author of the study is a professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Nothing good comes out of that place. Really, what worth is this study? How is it relevant to society? We'd be better off if they'd spend their time helping these kids lose weight and how to eat healthy and exercise than "studying" how they get bullied. What's next? A study about women having babies? Study finds that more women have babies than men. Earth shattering stuff.
