The greatest fear Liberals have is that there are too many people.
They want to live like rich Romans lounging in their togas and having their slaves pleasure them.
This ridiculous BMI pseudo-science is still destroying military careers. I've seen marathon runners get kicked out of the Navy for failing the BMI portion of the physical readiness test (PRT) while donut-eating fatbodies with fat necks get a pass.
Fail the twice-yearly PRT three times in four years and you're going home. Fail it once as an E-5 or E-6 and it's highly unlikely you'll ever make Chief.
Great point, but now it's thrown about everywhere as "The standard" by which people are being judged for overall fitness.
Between that and the BS about cholesterol all these years, it's hard to take any scale seriously without major scrutiny.
I believe that's called the Michelle Obama school lunch program.
My BMI is almost the exact same as Arnold Schwartzenegger, we are both just over the line into class one obesity according to the chart. Amazingly at one month short of 71 no one who has seen me seems to think I am too heavy.
I believe this all goes back to the Clinton administration’s HHS changing the Body Mass Index calculations. It was touted as an improved measure of health, but I understood it to be a new and exciting way for genius HHS bureaucrats to grab a little more control over the way we live our lives. Not to mention all the fun they could have creating an “Obesity Crisis!!!”
The Rock isn’t “obese,” he’s “a beast.”
There should be an age adjustment.
Bad physics that doesn’t recognize that the mass of an object is proportional to it’s volume.

Two of my favorite guys fat? Horse feathers. :-)
You are definitely overweight according to the BMI scale. I’m 5’ 10 and weigh 210 so I am overweight as well. The problem with BMI is it doesn’t take into account muscle mass or the width of a person’s shoulders. Thickness and the size of your thighs are important too. BMI puts everyone in same category.
One of Obama’s favorite quotes of Rev. Wright is “white folks greed leaves the world in need”.
In Obama’s mind, Africans aren’t starving because of their own black controlled corrupt governments.
Africans are starving because the white countries/govt keeps all the food for themselves.
The solution isn’t for Africans to produce more of their own food, the solution is to take the food produced by western/white countries and give it to Africa.
The first thing a cult will do is control the diet of new members and will generally restrict the consumption of animal protein if not stop it all together.
Meat eaters are more free thinking because it takes skills/thought to outsmart your prey to get meat.
It doesn’t take skill/thought to sneak up on a carrot.
Control the food and you control the people.
You are 100% correct.
Master and slave is the dems objective.
Vin Diesel, the Rock, Chris Hemsworth..... we like FAT guys! :)
I guess all those muscles make him look fat to some....

If Dwayne Johnson went to Marine Corps boot camp when I did he would have been branded a “diet private” as the Corps used those stupid height/weight charts to determine if you needed to lose weight.
They should be using Body Fat percentage.
Yep, I saw it in the Corps too. But if you requested up the chain of command you could get a waiver by going to the Naval hospital so you could be weighted in a water tank to determine your true BMI.
