Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weighing children and posting their weights in a public place can lead to stigmatization and bullying, which can actually contribute to an increase in weight rather than a decrease. The other options - promoting obesity prevention programs, providing healthy snacks, and eliminating soda vending machines - are all effective strategies for reducing childhood obesity.
