Parents Of 3-Year-Old Weighing 20 Kg Adviced To Go To Fat Club
Max Hurry is a normal five-year-old boy … but health workers told his parents he should go to fat club, Mirror Online reports.
At 3ft 6in tall, weighing 20kg, Max’s mum and dad received a letter saying: “These results suggest that your child’s weight to height ratio, in line with their age and sex, is a concern.”
The letter from Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust further explained: “Excess weight can lead to serious health problems.
“In short this can effect psychological wellbeing (bullying and low self-esteem), asthma and early onset of diabetes.
“Your GP would like to help and will soon be contacting you to invite your child and family to attend a Healthy Lifestyle Review.”
Furious dad Paul said: “This is farcical. We got this letter saying we need to go to fat club to teach us what to feed our children.
“Kids become anorexic and get bullied over their weight. Max is too young to understand now, but when he’s a little bit older, what is he going to think?
“He’s always out playing football or on his bike. He’s just a normal active young boy.”
The little boy’s BMI index was calculated after he was weighed and measured at school under the National Child Measurement Programme. Paul, 47, of Cheshunt, Herts, said he and wife Sarah are very careful what they feed their six children and that Max eats a balanced diet each night.
He added: “None of my children are fat. Max’s favourites are salmon, chicken or spag bol. We always give him vegetables.
“It’s not like he is stuffing his face with crisps all the time.
“But even if he did eat cream cakes every day – he’s not fat.”

This boy isn’t fat! Look at his dad’s picture, he is tall! So in relation to the boy’s height, at 3yrs (he is tall for his age, na food still make am tall?), 20kg is nature’s way of creating a balance so the boy can walk, play and live life in a good way, without falling down due to an imbalanced centre of gravity!
How is this boy fat nau?
They should let the guy be, can’t see anything wrong with him.
They must be a mistake somewhere
