Weigh to go

I was shocked to read last week’s article about toy scales aimed at pre-teen girls. How ironic a ‘toy’ should keep children indoors when they should be outside playing. No wonder more young people have eating disorders. Instead of buying scales, why not buy skipping ropes? The children will lose weight and have a good time with friends. Well done to The Scottish Mail on Sunday for ensuring this product was taken off the shelves.
