Hi Sue

I am surprised that you would give any credence to such an article.   
There is something inherently wrong with it, especially the heading.   
Does the article go on to say how many boys in five are fat?  Both  
girls and boys are people, there is no need to single out the girls  
and apparently their parents are choosing to spend money on sports  
rather than fresh food when they could make time to take them to the  
local park for exercise.  Admittedly it's just a few lines out of  
context, a link to the article and name of the author would help us  
to know whether we should waste time reading such sexist diatribe  
from this person in future.  I'm not asking for a link, I wouldn't  
believe anything this person has to say, the heading alone speaks  
volumes.
