*** I think if you feed him SAD so that he'll be bigger in the short term, 
you will be denying him long-term benefits. He may suffer from teasing 
because of his size, but all kids suffer teasing about whatever other kids 
can find to tease about. I was always teased for my small size, but that 
didn't cause me the lasting harm that certain other life events did. I did 
became faster, stronger, and tougher than most of the other kids, and a 
solid nutritional foundation will help your kid achieve that as well.
