We used to have to worry about the hungry people worldwide. Now we have to worry about the fat people worldwide. At least the Official Issue Makers give us some diversity.

The past couple of years, I have attended my law school reunion at homecoming (GO DAWGS). I noticed that among the attendees, a low percentage of overweight people and very few obese people. This may cause some to joke that lawyers have "that lean and hungry look" like Cassius in "Julius Caesar." I opine that obesity is less prevalent among the educated and professionals. Ever check out how many obese people line up for free food or welfare?

"The international standard for determining obesity is the body-mass index (BMI), defined as one's weight in kilograms divided by the square of one's height in meters. "

That tells you all you need to know right there. The root cause of global obesity is the metric system, and the fact that we no longer teach math skills.
