Unfortunately the most prevalent eating disorder currently plaguing America is not anorexia, it's obesity.

While I think that weighing kids in front of a class is unjustified and potentially dangerous to their mental health, I have no problem with some kind of private weighing and personal health report with suggestions for improving health being part of PE. There are a great many parents in America who feed their children crap and are obese themselves, and it's causing a horrible obesity epidemic. Sometimes, they need to be informed.
