I’ve seen so many professional, educated athletes not eat or drink anything for a day/s before having body comps done, only to celebrate a with a Macdonald’s afterwards. Weighing 30 kids will probably take around 30 minutes. Why not use that time for.. exercise? Cooking classes? https://twitter.com/jeremyvineon5/status/1292720353081466880

Instead of shaming kids for being heavy, why not look at *why* that is happening? A healthy diet is an expensive luxury that not everybody can afford. A small punnet of blueberries is £3. A multipack of crisps is pennies.

I feel like I could add 50 more tweets to this thread but all I’ll add is: lighter is not always better. I was the heaviest I’ve ever been when I won the olympics, at my lightest I could barely get through a training week. Education > a number on a scale.
