A New York mother who raised eyebrows when she discussed putting her then 7-year-old daughter on a strict diet is now gladly reporting that the girl is at a healthy weight. "She's doing fantastically well," mom Dara-Lynn Weiss stated on "Today" Tuesday, "We're very happy to report she's maintained a healthy weight. She's really made positive changes in how she approaches this issue.". 9 Photos.
Oops! 8 means moms and dads make children fat. Weiss discussed her overweight daughter Bea in Vogue's April 2012 problem. At the time the diet started, Bea was 4 feet, 4 inches and weighed 93 pounds-- technically making her obese according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) for kids and teenagers.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
