Seeing as how the BMI is baseless bull...

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.
How much of that is noticing only what and when the constant “Americans are fat” crap sensitizes us to seeing and noticing?
You see one fata** and it registers in your mind. You see 1000 non-fata**es and no register.
