Thank you for your feedback on our March cover! We had a very difficult time coming up with the cover photo for this issue. After several false starts, we decided upon this image. We were actually trying to be very sensitive to the eating disorder issue. The staff members who selected this photo felt that the girl was young enough (2 or 3) that there wouldn't be a problem. We're so sorry if the photo offended anyone! We hope you'll read the article and agree that it contains a lot of important and useful information for parents. Hi Molly.

Seriously?! I understand that childhood obesity is a real issue, but why not a picture of some of the foods that cause it, rather than a photo that reinforces the idea that girls need to worry about their weight from a very early age. The article is okay - I just think the cover photo was a very poor choice. A cover picture of a toddler girl standing on a scale?! Seriously?!
