My knee jerk reaction was "the worlds gone" mad but after thinking about it, I'd rather them "modernise" the books than take them away from children
Although I do think that chocolate factory book made me a fat chocoholic
IMO "modernising"books is the start of a slippery slope of blanket censorship , pandering the minority , a fat child is exactly that , fat, plain & simple .a word being replaced by another which won't take away the stigma of the condition . Stick and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me, a saying not strictly true but somethings in life will always "offend" someone somewhere but we don't live in cotton filled boxes immune to the world and all that's wrong and good within it nor should we be

Those that are offended by terms such as ' a black coat' and 'as white as a sheet' and think they are a risk to childen, need to have a good trawl of the internet!
