[H]ardOCP:

Not even a month after the Wii Fit hit European shelves, it is already under fire by obesity experts. Experts are concerned that the game can damage children’s body image by labeling them “fat” or “underweight,” based on their Body Mass Index (BMI).



Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum called for children to be banned from playing the game, claiming the BMI measurement was misleading… "BMI is far from perfect but with children it simply should not be used. A child’s BMI can change every month and it is perfectly possible for a child to be stocky, yet still very fit.”
