    "When students and their parents 'know their numbers' and the consequences of those numbers, they are more likely to do something about them," Huffington Post blogger Lloyd I Sederer, M.D., medical director of the New York State Office of Mental Health wrote in a recent post.

    "On the other side of the issue, critics question the government's place in getting involved in something as personal as weight. Where do you stand on the debate?"

    I have been fat and struggled with my weight my whole life. I certainly did not need the school to say I was fat on my report card. I can still hear the taunts today (from students and teachers alike) - fatty fatty 2X4 can't get through the kitchen door.
