I think it's great that kids are starting to notice what they look like. I don't necessarily ever advocate "dieting" though. Lifestyle change is more along the lines of the terminology I'd use.
I feel bad for children raised at McDonalds who, by the time they're into their teens, are 50+ pounds overwieght. They don't know any better; they can't provide for themselves. They just take what Mom and Dad give 'em. "Here's a quarter pounder, now go play Xbox."
Even if it takes images in the media to make them realize that they're fat and they need to do something about it, I think it's worth it. The US is the fattest country in the world, and it's not by accident.
