“no Constitutional authority”.....True, but look at how many new bureaucrats can be hired to collect and analyze the data which will have to be revised each month due to a glitch in the computer programming, which will require more appropriations next year to streamline the procedures, plus the additional new employees to keep track of more required data as new regulations are drafted and implemented.
“no constitutional authority” Will the DCF care about the constitution when they come to take away your too fat kids? That will be the “enforcement” end of this.
The BMI guidelines are idiotic. I’ve used one to measure body fat loss. I’m about 6’ 205lbs, and the “guideline” was so low I’d have lose another 30 lbs to meet it.
I’m 54 - can bench near my weight(except for a recent impingement that’s put me out of the gym and off the golf course argggh!). I’d need to train like a 20yr old marathon runner to meet the guidelines.
Just craziness.
