1. There is any way to look at this letter, I see why she is doing this. But, I think she should just let it be. Let the parents parent their children the way that they want to. It shouldn't affect everyone else. It's not her, or her children so she or anyone else shouldn't worry about it,unless they are the ones that are obese.

2.It is her right,she has freedom of expression. I just think that it's a little harsh to the children,They might be obese, but it's not their faults. the letter would lower self-esteems on a holiday that's supposed to be fun.

Jane Addams:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams

(Laura) Jane Addams (September 6, 1860-May 21, 1935) won worldwide recognition in the first third of the twentieth century as a pioneer social worker in America, as a feminist, and as an internationalist.

http://www.biography.com/people/jane-addams-9176298

Jane Addams wrote prolifically on topics related to Hull-House activities, producing eleven books and numerous articles as well as maintaining an active speaking schedule nationwide and throughout the world. She played an important role in many local and national organizations. A founder of the Chicago Federation of Settlements in 1894, she also helped to establish the National Federation of Settlements and Neighborhood Centers in 1911. She was a leader in the Consumers League and served as the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections (later the National Conference of Social Work). She was chair of the Labor Committee of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, vice-president of the Campfire Girls, and a member of the executive boards of the National Playground Association and the National Child Labor Committee. In addition, she actively supported the campaign for woman suffrage and the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (1909) and the American Civil Liberties Union (1920).

Jane Addams was almost seven years old when she first sensed that city life was not all ice-cream cones and visits to the toy store. The daughter of a well-to-do Illinois businessman, Jane often went with her father on his trips to the mills that he owned. She loved playing in the great heaps of grain in the storerooms. Such a trip usually ended with a stop at the local candy store.
