Uh, yeah it is... maybe if the kid was over 6 feet tall I'd agree with you...

 

[shortspanishguy]

[Arcex]

Not compared to children in the US, no. Compared to the rest of the world, YES!

I disagree with your assessment. That kid is obese.

 

[edro]

Yes he is... and so is she.

 

[randomlinh]

215lbs@8yrs old. He doesn't look taller than 5ft at best. And that's not obese?

You've got to be kidding. That kid is fvcking gigantic.

ZV

8 years old and 218lbs? Jesus! He's over 30lbs heavier than me and I'm in my late 30s and a hair under 6' tall!!! :shocked:

He's most definitely obese.

 

[Alone]

weighs 218 pounds, four times the weight of a healthy child his age.

Weight: 218 lbs/99 Kilo's.
Height: Estimated 5ft/1.524M

BMI = kg / m2
BMI = 99 / (1.524 * 1.524)
BMI = 99 / 2.322
BMI = 42.636

* A BMI less than 18.5 is underweight
* A BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 is normal weight
* A BMI of 25.0 - 29.9 is overweight
* A BMI of 30.0 - 39.9 is obese
* A BMI of 40.0 or higher is severely (or morbidly) obese

Morbidly obese.

Obese??? Why do we have to sugar coat everything now-a-days, he's fat plain and simple.

Easy rule...If your son has boobs, he's obese.

 

[Jahee]

"...outside their home in Wallsend, 300 miles (480 kilometers) north of London"

Thats like basically the top of the country :laugh:


Edit: The kids a fat ****** look at him, he's what 5'6, 5'7 and he's 8 too!..

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

He's not overweight, he's under tall.

Obese refers to people, what we got on our hands here is a small planet

There is no sugar-coating when saying an 8 year old kid is obese.

I don't agree with public smoking bans ... I don't like being taxed for things that i can pay for on my own ... I hate people who think it's smart to control the kind of food I eat...

But for love of all that is good in the world, CAN WE REQUIRE LICENSES FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE KIDS?!?!? :|

 

[thomsbrain]
