It usually is not. I know in the old days when we got five pounds at Christmas for growth allowance this didnt happen near as much. People are always reinventing the wheel you know. They decided that if they didnt give the five pounds then kids wouldnt lose weight. Thats crap. People are going to cut weight because they want the most advantage for the buck. That is just always going to happen. We sort of ignore the fact that kids grow and we penalize them for it. I lobbied the state for years to cut out the second weigh in at state because it is stupid to weigh in twice in one day and hold weight all day long. Their answer is that they shouldnt lose so much weight. Some answer there, coming from guys that have a 30 buck a day food allowance.
