Scales In Schools

This week I am in a fit of rage with anti-diet dietitian and mum of two Alison Stewart. A flurry of headlines announced a new program in NSW schools to force kids to be more physically active, all in the name of 'reducing obesity.' Weighing kids, fitness assessments, and fitness report cards were just some of the scary sounding stuff printed in the papers. But what is really going on here? Alison and I took a deep dive beyond the hysterical headlines, into the actual study that these were based on. And we found that the headlines don't match the study. And we also found that the study's conclusions don't match the actual data. The deeper down the rabbit hole we went, the more interesting it became! SO much bulls**t!
