Wanna hear something I think is rediculous?

It's just what I'm hearing on the radio talk shows and thought it was worth mentioning.

I heard more about the discussion and this is what I'm hearing as regards Pam's hearing tell of the possibility that weight charts are flawed in the US.

1) People weigh more now because we exercise more, and muscle weighs more than fat

2) BMI is flawed

Based on those 2 premises, it isn't saying that it's all right to be unhealthy and overweight... it's just an assertion that based on Americans exercising more and noting that BMI can be incredibly flawed, there is more to health than a mere weight.

That's what I heard as clarity regarding the issue recently.

:joy

go to the website fluffynomore has on her post. it is the second post. The reason they say it is because we possibly have better doctors care. That first website kind of sums up what I heard.

hahah well i think that midly overwieght people would be healthier than someone who is severely malnurshised....but thats kinda like saying some one with a mild cold is healtheir than someone wiht HIV....the media always blows things out of proportion
