So very needed. There...Joe, great job on this blog! So very needed. There is no doubt that nutrition and health government generated and imposed standards are some of the most blatant infringements on our individual freedoms. I often say that even soviet and eastern european communist leaders never had that much lack of common sense!!!<br />I do want to point out however that even though BMI standards are inaccurate in estimating body fatness or predicting individual health risk it is very accurate when predicting health risk of a population. That is what studies are showing. So, as nutrition professionals it is our responsibility to advise individuals from the proper perspective by utilizing these tools with some hefty smothering of common sense regarding their health and wellbeing. <br />ElissavetaElissaveta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201688082965838699noreply@blogger.com
