And really, what more can be done other than to make the aftercare program available and as attractive as possible?
I think the reporter's problem is with the whole "not being fat = desirable" concept, and not with my brother (identified in the article only by his last name, which shows sloppy editing) and his camps and schools. Is it time for that FB perennial to pop up again? If so, let me go on record as saying that being obese is bad, and slimming down to a healthier weight, even if you have to pay companies large sums of money to help you do it, is something that should be applauded, not scorned.
By the way, after the recent Dateline NBC piece on the school, they're now full, and considering opening up a second school in the southeast.

I thought it was a fairly balanced article, and I thought the camp came out looking fairly good, even if some kids didn't want to be there.
