According to a 1994 article by Ronald Kleinman, M.D., chief of the Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Unit, Massachusetts General Hospital, and associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, “Many parents are unnecessarily concerned with their children’s weight. They badger their high-achieving, happy kids for generally unfounded reasons. We need genetics to communicate to parents [and other responsible adults] that a fat child does not have any more medical problems than other children the same age.” Parents and educators often project their dissatisfaction genetics with their own genetics bodies on the children over whom they have influence. It cannot be stressed enough that adults must deal with their own negative body image and fear, loathing, and disgust of fat before they can stop teaching children to hate their bodies. The cultural obsession with thinness and the stigma attached to being fat take a toll on the mental health of large people. Although they show no greater disturbance on conventional measures of psychopathology, many fat people suffer from poor body image (Wadden & Stunkard, 1987).
