"Obesity? what a bunch off baloney."
Guess we can put global warming on the back burner. Whew, that one was scaaaarrrrryyyyy.
As a friend of mine uses to say, while patting himself on the belly: "It is paid for!"
I think this had a previous thread but I am too fat to find it.
Tax every over weight person an extra $2000.00 per year and give everyone NOT over weight $1000.00. Anyone on the government tit has one year to trim down or we cut them off. It's time for some tough love. Besides, I can use a extra thousand.
I better get off my 'puter and go do some butt crunches!
But according to the federal government's BMI index, I am "overweight." I am male, 5'6", and I weigh 160 pounds.
The government greatly exaggerates the number of people who are "overweight."
The Department of Health must obtain these weight standards from Ethiopia. They are completely unrealistic from what I've seen. Someone had posted a list of allegedly "overweight" movie stars. You could see through half the people on the list. According to the list, President Bush was overweight. I think they need to send the people who created these standards BACK to the team that invented "Global warming".
"researchers found that 90 per cent of men and 70 per cent of women were overweight or later became overweight."
Thats 100% crap or will become so.
That is how you skew a result to come up with a foregone conclusion.
