They’re not “fat”, they’re “hard to kidnap”.

First "cripple"
Then "fat".
Then "obese".
I suppose "stupid" is next...

Creative language at its finest.

Removing words from the English language is the cornerstone of Newspeak.

I suggest using the phrase “calorically gifted”.

Why is a “National Child Measurement Programme” necessary?

Don’t they think the parents already know their kids are fat?

Among other words not to be used is “exercise”. Dr Will Cavendish, Director of Health and Wellbeing at the department, said that this, too, conveyed an unhelpful image to parents.

Exercise? And, if the kid is flunking in school--"study" becomes a bad word?

Morbidly obese children will be referred to as very, very overweight. Good grief.

Obese is a medical condition, as in morbidly obese.
