Since the “obesity ratings” put just about every NBA and NFL player in the “obese” category, I wonder whatMichelle Obama will think about the term that it included in her record.
It’s coming....a fat tax!
I don’t think I want to play along.....
Eff these people!
In practice, the BMI classifies very tall, skinny people as obese, and very short fat people as normal or even underweight. Michelle My Bell probably thinks she's underweight because her fraudulent BMI says so, and that's why the lard-ass feels free to tell everybody else they're fat.
The BMI is a flawed mathematical calculation, and the federal bureaucracy is going to insist upon using it for one simple reason: it allows them to punish people.
Please note that there are no cubic factors in this formula, which means it is not taking into account the volume of the person.
Mathematically, a 6' tall person should weigh 8 times what a 3' tall person weighs, since they are twice as tall and have a volume 23 = 8 times that of the smaller person.
The fact that they are going to use this calculation proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Obama and his minions are either completely stupid, or completely evil. There are no other choices.
Worse than that. This is just the first step in using Obamacare to justify having the government micromanage every single detail of our lives. For the good of the people dontcha know.
Mr Zuben, we’ve means-tested you and you flunk. Royally. Don’t come back until you’re skinny-sick.
I truly believe that ALL democrats fall into one of these two categories, stupid or evil.
The runt is expected to be pudgy, and the next Lew Alcindor has to be a bean pole.
Wonder what our favorite lefty fatso, Michael Moore, has to say about this?
You can thank the fist lady for this one. What you eat, when you eat and how much you eat is none of the governments business. This just shows how much control over you that the government wants.
“Wonder what our favorite lefty fatso, Michael Moore, has to say about this?”
Good point! But I imagine he’ll be silent for once.
Michael Moore alert! He will have to fly to Cuba for treatment, but what the heck, he will love it. According to him, they have the best medicine.
vaudine
If the BMI is simply calculated from the height and weight, it is a ridiculous exercise to write down the result.
This puts women like me, short and curvy with a sturdy skeletal system, firmly in the overweight to obese category - when we’re really not. Then what, are they going to try to control food intake? This is all such a gigantic cluster.
Short and curvy hmmmm? I like it.
Say goodbye to the female vote, Barry...
