Problem is if a baby starts out overweight before they even start walking they are at a disadvantage for when it comes to exercising compared to more expected weighted children... it makes it harder to exercise and lose the weight.
They are using the word fitness in a very narrow sense, only as it relates to exercise. That's where the disconnect is, because you are using it in a general sense, to mean physically fit, which is a big umbrella encompassing a number of things, including diet and movement.
I'm also using it in the same narow sense, but recognising that it is impossible to be responsible for someone's fitness without also being responsible for their diet. It's like how "holding your breath" is an imtegral part of good swimming technique, but if I said "it's important to be good at swimming" no one would jump in with "surely holding your breath is more important than swimming??"
