Where is the support? Where is the activity? Where is the education through the BSA (an educational, leadership, and confidence building group) to assist in these boys growth. I'm at a huge lost for words!Lissa @ Pass Go and Be Belowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914010992687898400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091429138220540615.post-3482820176497365562013-07-16T10:47:06.060-07:002013-07-16T10:47:06.060-07:00So I just read that other post (super ridiculous t...So I just read that other post (super ridiculous that she got SUED, btw), and I have to ask... what is "WLS?" Sorry if I'm being ignorant here. :)<br /><br />And I'm sorry, but shouldn't we ENCOURAGE these obese young people to go out and be active? Why are we excluding them from activities that will in the long run help lead them to a more active and healthier lifestyle? That seems absolutely ridiculous and I cannot believe it. The obesity rates in America are ridiculous, and instead of doing something that could maybe help lower those rates, an organization like the boy scouts is telling kids that they can't participate?! And your DANCE teacher telling you that you couldn't dance because you were too fat? HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE HEALTHY IF YOU ARE EXCLUDED FROM ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PART OF AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE?!?!?!?! <br /><br />COME ON, PEOPLE!
