There are parents who don't even care what their kids' grades are--in elementary school. Do we think that they're going to care about their kids' BMI, if they even know what "BMI" stands for?
Plus, so many parents are in denial about their kids being fat anyway, passing it off as "baby fat." There are even some who think that it's a sign that they're "healthy," and that it's GOOD that their child has "meat on their bones." (Of course, they're completely oblivious of the differences between being too thin, maintaining a healthy weight, and being fat.) Until we get rid of these ignorant attitudes, we will continue to have generations of unhealthy kids.
