13. Sigh. Weight is a number. That's it. The BMI is horseshit.
Most doctors don't know shit about nutrition. Most folks can't afford an honest nutritionist. Too many folks rely on junk science to base fad diets on.

Want to take a big chip out of the "obesity epidemic"? Mandatory basic nutrition course in high school. One that's not subsidized by Kraft, either.

People largely don't know how to eat. Too much is based on emotion and or convenience.

Try treating your car like you do your body. See what happens.

*Well, I drive a Camry. The diesel line is shorter, so I'll get my gas there.
*I won't be able to get another oil change until after the next interval. Put 7 quarts in.
*I'm short on cash and time so at this oil change, just put 2 quarts in.
