it's about time press/media confronts AMERICAN OBESITY

the BMI formula is too simple, not addressing bigbone versus smallbone
personally, I am 6'0" and 178 lbs with medium bones
my reading is BMI=24.1
they regard overweight at 25
obese at 30
extremely obese at 40
BMI claims 35% of Americans are obese, and 3% extremely obese

BMI formula is .....
divide weight in lbs by height in inches
now divide the result again by height in inches
now multiply by 703
I think they should have a different multiplier for smallbone, mediumbone, bigbone

I might be 5-8 lbs overweight, but cut incredibly, nice peccs
with a tight ass, rounded shoulders, big arms, massive calves
certainly not burdened by any excess hair weighing my head down

sooner or later, press/media will make the connection between excessive debt and excessive weight
big common denominators -- laziness, immediate gratification

I decided to gawk of obese people a few months ago
if a guy walked by with two heads or a garden rake sticking out his ass, I would do a double-take for that also
when in my cafeteria, I check as a hobby what guys and gals eat who are at least 50 lbs overweight
usually their lunch includes french fries and a soda drink
often a big plate of pasta in some form

strong parallel with obesity and indebtedness
