Another example of the nanny state, sometimes I feel all councils should be dissolved and the members shot, I really hope this was not a computer generated letter.

Zac Forder is a lively and active child of five, weighing 3st 5lb.

Unfortunately that’ s a pound over the recommended guidelines - meaning he’s been labelled overweight by health workers.

It also means that his mother Michala received a letter warning that her son could be at risk of developing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure in later life.

I agree, what a waste of time sending out letters to parents with kids like that, don't they have anything better to do?! :rolleyes:

One of the many tragic and hilarious flailings of an inordinately swollen and multifarious government.

Statists and those of a mushy mental persuasion will surely feel that this is harmless and helpful.
