Bureaucratic Fat
I know I am overweight. I don't need national agencies and studies to call me fat. By the new definitions now seemingly being foisted upon the poulation, thousands of normal people, as well as many amazingly fit olympic atheletes, Tom Cruise, and the Governator are all officially overweight. The sky is falling! It's an 'Obesity Epidemic'! Well, due to these flawed guidelines based on typical junk science, 61% of Americans are deemed to be overweight. By definition, isn't that some kind of an oxymoronic statement, like the Lake Wobegon kids who are all above average?
