Weight Loss: Kids - Overweight Affects Both Boys and Girls

You may want to consider rephrasing or are you trying to bolster society's obsession with weight loss and body image for the female gender alone? A child suffering with weight issues could conceivably be a male child, honest it could. Equally, a worried parent could be worried about an obese boy, not an obese girl - it could happen!

Thanks.

Answer Thanks for this comment and of course, you are absolutely right. When writing pages about children I tend to refer to them on one page as 'she' and on another page as 'he', but I agree this creates the wrong impression on this page.

Weight loss for kids is just as much an issue for boys as it is for girls, and I've re-worded the page to make this clear. Thanks for taking the time to get in touch.
