This will cause explosive growth in demand for elevator shoes.
I’m 62 years old, and have worked out most of my life. At 5’10” and 185 lbs., I fall squarely into the “overweight” category, according to the chart. If I lost 35 lbs. to hit the middle of the desired weight column, I would look seriously ill.
That is are you white and too fat? We already have examples of exemption over in the Justice Department.
>>Most of the welfare democrats are obese because they’re slackers
Don’t worry. By the time this goes into effect, it will exclude Africans. In Obama’s America, if you are white and too fat to pick cotton, you are useless to him.
I am slightly taller than Obama, I vary from 90 to 100 pounds heavier and I probably have a body fat percentage no higher than his but under the current guidelines I would be judged “obese” because weight is weight, there is no distinction between fat and muscle. If I tried to drop my weight down to the maximum on the charts I would wreck my health.
Meantime the FEDERALS STEADFASTLY REFUSE TO SECURE OUR BORDERS, AS REQUIRED BY OUR CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!!
I am supposed to believe that a healthy weight for me at six four is from 155 to 195, LOL. I weighed 155 as a stick skinny fifteen year old and weighed 195 as a stick skinny sailor just out of boot camp. The last time I weighed 205 I was still stick skinny and that is the beginning of overweight on this chart. I weighed 261 this morning and people say I look great, not fat, most of the young guys I know literally wish they had my build but somewhere out there in the area left off the chart it would say I am “obese”.
We really are going back to the '70's. I can see platform shoes making a comeback. Can disco be far behind?
I think this issue is going to be a lot of fun....irritating but fun to watch...there are a lot of porkers in the administration. Guess they’ll have to stay away from doctors and hospitals to avoid the BMI measurement.
And then we have Congress!!! Start with Barney Frank.
Don’t think this will go over well with those who voted for this jerk.
“”then they need to start with Medicare first. Tell them big Mamas their kids and them “”
You meant Medicaid, right? Medicare enrolees shouldn’t have any “kids” they’re still responsible for.
Doesn’t 0bama smoke? Michelle must be over the BMI limit as well, unless her ass gets weighed separately. If 0bama stopped smoking would he gain weight and then get fat?
“BMI is not even accurate.”
Not only that, but do these geniuses not realize that BMI can fluctuate? And just how often will these bureaucratic flunkies UPDATE BMI? These people keep doing the dumbest stuff, never thinking ahead to consequences. By the way, what IS M. Maobama’s BMI these days, anyway?
She makes her first appearance in Part 3, Chapter 5 of the book, insisting that Americans give up wheat for soybeans because of the superior diet of Asians.
If B.O. wants a superior race, he’d better run for the hills himself. Having big ears and being half white/black would not be acceptable on such a list. I’d bet money he also has smoker’s breath—I know he has smoker’s voice, along with that annoying whistle. As for her, having a wide rear end, pudgy silhouette, and too-long arms wouldn’t either. So, to all you tyrants at the top, PLEASE take a look in the nearest mirror at your fat, ugly selves before trying to run OUR lives.
OK...they are going to have to extend that chart way, way to the right...
And you probably do not smoke. He does.
That is a killer.
DUH yes I meant Mediaid. Brain knew what I meant but fingers typed otherwise....
Has ‘it’ pledged to exempt ‘certain people’, i.e. in sports, people on welfare, Roseanne Barr, his union thugs, his extended family?
