Thanks for the ping Gabz
A blood sample will be taken to measure cholesterol and blood sugar.
A hair sample, to measure mercury levels, will be taken from women of childbearing age and participants 60 and older.
Alouette, is that your photo? There have been several comments on it. Most think her stomach was photoshopped. Was it?
As far as I'm concerned, the V.A. has my medical history and they are the only ones I choose to let have it.
And no, I don't tell them whether or not I own my guns.
If not, they'll just change the definition of obese again to make sure there are. Then, taking a page from MADD's paybook, they'll lament about what an increase there was in obesity between year A and year B without bothering to mention that the definition was changed in between.
Dude, just adjust the "normal" font in your browser. Then you won't have to bother manually tagging, and it'll affect all the posts, not just your own. FR doesn't explicitly set the font, it's just tagged in HTML as normal, and rendered in your browser however it's set to show the normal font.

I dread to think what their next little plan will be.

This all presumes that people are going to tell them the truth.
Ours does, too. That's not a health issue; it's none of their business.
No, no, no. It's toasted marshmallows with the Hershey's and graham crackers.
I actually have a "Go Away" doormat.
They start with "random" checks. They ask innocent questions. In a few years, after residents are used to the intrusion, they move up to their real purpose. Are you a gun owner? Are you harboring any conservatives?
You have the right to shut up, to keep your opinion to yourself.
That's gotta be her belly button showing beneath the hem of her dress. How utterly disgusting. I should post that pic so I can look at it everytime I get the urge to eat; I'd lose my appetite.
