7:07Now PlayingSchools in 19 states have started to conduct annual weigh-ins of students that test for their body mass index, which is used to determine if someone is overweight or obese, and then sending students home with reports of the results.
Referred to the students as "fat letters," states across the country from New York to Arkansas to Illinois are participating in the program.
Won't these notes damage the self-esteem of the kids at an age where they are already susceptible to forming eating disorders?
