i worked as a counselor one summer at a fat-kids sleep-away camp but quit after the end of a week because i was morally opposed to leading 9-yr. olds in daily chants of "2, 4, 6, 8 This Is How We Lose Weight!"
they also had to pose in bathing suits for fat-kid-camp "before & after" pics.
what was funny was that EVERY SINGLE ONE of the parents put down on the application that their main reason for enrolling their kid in "fat camp" was so that the child could gain . . . . . drumroll . . . . SELF-ESTEEM
oh, and it was a fat camp for rich kids so they had air-conditioned bunks and an indoor heated pool and we had to escort them in an air-conditioned bus to the hiking trail
we (the counselors) were instructed during orientation to pretend we thought the broccoli tasted delicious and to act like we loved it
i'm soooo glad my parents sent me to the charity camp for poor city kids
