Seeing as how the BMI is baseless bull and actually requires unhealthy low weight levels, most of this crap about obesity is right up there in accuracy and honesty with Hillary Wins!

Yep. When liberals went on the BMI kick, we all suddenly were fat and obese. I don’t pay any attention to numbers. I don’t care. Heck they said President Bush was obese.....get real liberals.

But we don’t need numbers to tell us what we see - Americans are disturbingly overweight, they huff and puff just walking from point A to point B, and they are creating their own misery of health problems and lost enjoyment because they want to eat more calories than they expend.

So adults want to make the case it is their life they can die the way they want. Fine. But I think it is child abuse to let children become obese - a burden they will likely never be able to overcome because the adults in their lives wanted to do things the easy way.

The BMI was designed as a simple metric for tracking changes in body composition of populations over time. It was never meant to say anything about individuals. When it’s used as intended it’s a good tool. The problem is it has been totally misapplied and misinterpreted.

Does no one take in Heredity? Many of us are large boned or heavy muscle build, or big busted even at a decent weight.
