THAT was his lunch! No sandwich, no main course, nada! I asked him if he packed it himself. He says "No, my mom did"
Needless to say, I didn't let him eat it and made him eat the school lunch which was baked chicken and rice. He is a super skinny kid that mom says is "picky" but he happily ate the chicken and rice lunch!
In Texas, if the Acanthosis marker is present, we are required to do a height, body weight, BMI, and blood pressure evaluation. A notice is sent to parents, and the information is entered into and sent to UT Border Health Office.

Thanx for explaining GdBSN. Acanthosis Nigricans is a possible marker for diabetes, it presents as a dark ring around the neck. Most people would think it is only a dirty neck. With diet and exercise the ring should fade. In Texas we are required to check along with hearing and vision screening, although it is not required for kinder.
