Is this A Modest Proposal?

I could also provide an analogy of human children vs fish. We want our kids to be the perfect weight for their height and are concerned about that little short kindergarten kid that weighs 130 lbs as being unhealthy. In the pond community, Wr/Rw, the consensus seems to be that fish that are overweight for their length are the spectacular ones.

Which train of thought is correct? Are these even valid analogies?
