Parents Will Be Told If Their Children Are Overweight

Shouldn't they know this already?
" From September this year, parents of children who have been weighed and measured at school could automatically receive their child's results in a bid to get parents to be more aware about healthy lifestyles, and help their children achieve a healthy weight, Health Minister Ivan Lewis announced recently...

'Research shows that most parents of overweight or obese children think that their child is a healthy weight. This important move isn't about pointing the finger and telling parents that their children are overweight, instead it's about equipping parents with the information they need to help their children live healthier lives.'"
Which is why this info is useless.

It is not actionable since parents will not be held accountable.

Cowards.
