Good for you, John.
The Body Mass Index was introduced during Clinton's reign. The moment the head of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, foisted it upon the country, untold millions of Americans were suddenly deemed to be either overweight or obese. The index uses only age and weight as its criteria. A 35-year old, six-foot,180-pound, large framed man who lifts weights, runs, plays sports, eats a healthy diet, and has a physically demanding job has the same index number as a 35-year old, six-foot,180-pound, small framed, flabby, junk-food eating man who is a lay-about couch potato.
