I really think we need to define obesity better. BMI is not a be-all-end-all. Many professional athletes and weightlifters are obese despite being very lean. The fact is, better nutrition has helped many develop more. BMI was originally developed to normalize data across various heights, nothing more. It was never intended to be a judgement on overall health.
We should base it on body fat. Obviously different numbers for men and women. But it would make way more sense than just height and weight.
where we've been desperately trying to tell angry, fed-up voters that the time to express that is in the primary
When have we said that?
If that was said, I’m sure it was more about a Bernie v Biden issue. Certainly vote for who you want in the primary, but uncommitted isn’t a person.
The fact is, this looks awful in the media. The headlines are all about “Is Biden in trouble?”
The old expression holds true: Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.” Democrats are starting to hate Biden and may stay home. Meanwhile, swing votes see Democrats turning in Biden and turn themselves to Trump.
Lies. You can register your disapproval. I just don’t want you to get Trump re-elected, which we are headed towards. If you thought Gaza was a genocide now, wait for Trump.
Oh, sure there are many awful people that vote for Trump. But there are also many stupid people that vote for Trump. Even Trump voters are not a monolith.
