I'm very skeptical about articles like this when it comes to the "war on obesity". Keep in mind, under the very same guidelines, GWB is considered overweight.

Nothing succeeds like excess!

Not even that. Where the hell is this study? I want to see it. You will find that liberal "studies" only link the number of parks, fast restaurants, gyms, and public money spent on obesity per person in regards to "obesity". Nothing at all to do with actual weight, fat content, or exercise.

Fake liberal educational studies also do this without using actual graduation rates, grades, continuing education rates, or test scores.

I'm with you. When the gov't redid the guidelines, suddenly a lot more people were "overweight" and "obese". That's what bugs me about the "Americans are getting fatter" campaign.

(Sigh) Not true. With a height of 6' 2" and a weight of 191, his BMI is 24.5, inside the normal range according to this

True, but you don't need a chart to know how fat this country is.

Just go to any Wal Mart in the South and you will see (I'm sure the same rings true in other areas, I just haven't been).
