  • Not necessarily. If you were born into a household that watches Fox… Guess what you believe. There’s a reason the South so powerfully believes in that garbage. Not to mention Fox is on in the lobbies of sooo many business lobbies. It is very difficult to escape a cult.

    As much as I loathe the right wing, the people it has engulfed might not have been that way under a different upbringing. Nature vs. nurture.





  • The idea makes sense I’m theory, but doesn’t work in reality. I consider it a psuedo science that stuck around because it was just kind of accepted as true. The numbers just don’t scale right for height or muscle.

    I have an average height friend who had a doctor tell him he was obese. My friend has virtually no fat on him. Although he’s muscular, it’s not like he’s a body builder or someone you’d look twice at for being out of the norm. Muscle is just dense.

    I’m tall. When I was very poor and couldn’t afford enough food, I weighed right in the middle of the ‘healthy’ zone. On multiple occasions a romantic interest saw me with a shirt off and tell me I should eat more. I remember the look well. My ribs were very prominent. BMI tells me I could weigh 30 pounds less and still be healthy! People would voice very serious concern if I got anywhere near that.

    I do not trust BMI.
