Have you noticed that ever commecial for a diet product features someone who already looks fit and at an ideal weight? I'd hate to think that I had to spend the rest of my life popping pills in order to maintain some ideal weight.
You don't always pop pills to wear a zero. You smoke heavily, pretend to eat, and do lots of shopping.
The BMI business is garbage. What was wrong with the insurance industry standard anyway? I still want to know what "overweight" means. Does it mean, "Gosh, my thighs are bigger than Nicole Kidman's?" or "I gained a pound over the weekend eating a lima bean!"
How much "overweight" is overweight?
