In partnership with Camp Holiday Trails and Kohl’s department stores, UVA is lending its expertise to an extended weekend camp for families with an obese child. According to a UVA release, the whole family is invited to learn healthy eating and exercise habits for nearly four days in September. Cost: $25. Value: priceless. Well, actually UVA says it’s $500 worth of food, lodging, and instruction subsidized by the actual operator of the program, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Childhood Obesity Task Force.

I would think that the writers for “The Hook” were intelligent enough to come up with alternative wording to “fat camp”. Remember being a kid and being called fat? I do. I’m not really big on being “pc” but I do think better wording could have been used.
