Many school officials are sending home letters to parents notifying them that their child's body mass is at 95% or greater. Schools are attempting to crackdown on childhood obesity. The schools are calling them "healthy" or "unhealthy" letters but parents have chosen to call them "fat letters."

Take our poll below and let us know how you would react if you received one of these letters about your child.
