A very muscular person would have a misleading BMI score if the measurements are not used in the calculation.

I agree that it is tough to maintain a healthy body mass in our world of high fat and sugar foods. I call it "industrial food." It is really not food at all, but it is loaded with preservatives for longer shelf life and fat and sugar to appeal to taste. Yes, your metabolism does slow after 50. This is why, as you know, at that age you have to cut the fat and sugar and get more exercise. People like you who have the will power to do it will lead longer and healthier lives.

She has no intention of changing her recipes, loaded with fat and sugar, to encourage people to eat healthy food. Instead, she is promoting a diabetes medicine offered by a giant pharmaceutical company. I guess her plan is to make a lot more diabetics and help her client to expand its market by encouraging people to eat high fat food. It is false and infantile to deny the increase in obesity and diabetes in the U.S. Here is my secret failure-proof diet. Eat minimal fat and get exercise! Oh, rats! I gave away the big secret. I should have charged everybody $39.95!

I would add that based on my experience with the Girl Scouts, If I still had a daughter of the appropriate age, I would not send her on overnight trips supervised and controlled by lesbian leaders. It is probable that nothing adverse would occur, but there would be a risk.

When I walked through in November, most were asleep in their tents at 10:45 A.M. when the City was full of people "occupied" with productive work at that hour. The "occupy" people believe that they are entitled to be supported by taxes extracted from productive citizens. Nobody that I encountered was looking for a job and most would be unemployable anyway because of their bad attitude and lack of any useful skills. We have an extensive network of agencies providing for the homeless here who genuinely desire help and I am confident that Providence has such facilities as well. If the working people of Providence want to provide a tent city for these bums, that is their choice, but please do not import such a plan to San Diego.

However, there are some great films out there if you are willing to look for them. I use as an example Tyler Perry's "Madea" films. They are about the problems faced by families and how the right principles of character and integrity can be applied to overcome them. The films depict black families, but the messages apply equally to all racial groups. Typically, the theater is nearly full for these films and the audience includes both blacks and whites. All of the "Madea" movies have made money, so I think that the only reason Hollywood does not make more like them is that they do not depict Hollywood extreme leftist liberal values and they promote the idea that people can actually make positive changes in their lives without government interference.

The Girl Scouts had and have no problem with lesbian leaders and I encountered several during the time that I was a Brownie troop leader. These leaders, especially obviously lesbian paid staff members who seemed to dominate the local Council, were quite hostile to my participation in the program. I think that there is a not-so-subtle pressure from these lesbians to present homosexuality as an "alternative" for the girls. Are these lesbians "recruiting?" I don't know, but as presently administered I would not recommend to parents that they enroll their daughters in what has become a leftist, gay activist propaganda group. If you buy the cookies, you are supporting the Girl Scout's left wing agenda.

What foolish actor would think that he could measure up to Jimmy Stewart? Maybe next year we will be able to see It's A Wonderful Life with Matt Damon playing George! Ridiculous!

He had no program or substance when he ran and he did absolutely nothing in the Senate, so why would anyone think that he would become a genius and save the country after he was elected? Matthews and the other brilliant pundits of his ilk have hurt this country badly and I hope that they someday pay the price.

The real dilemma is that the concept of "Europe" implies that the productive countries will provide unlimited welfare to the non-productive. So long as countries like Greece maintain their attitude of entitlement, Europe will continue to spiral downward. My suggestion to the dependents is that the milk and honey will not continue to flow and they had better come back from vacation, revisit reality and get to work.

There is no anger greater that that of liberals against blacks who have "betrayed" the leftist cause and departed the plantation that Dems have been operating for them for decades. Clarence Thomas encountered, and still encounters, this vicious hatred of liberals, but, like Cain, he has maintained his temper and dignity. They are superior men in every way. In fact, liberals care nothing about the welfare of blacks and only want black votes to install their socialist programs.

However, if many others like him and pay to see his performances, he has earned the fruits of his labor like any other worker. It is, indeed, gratifying to watch the lefties consuming their own gods! I wonder how he feels about this attack. After all, he has been such a good leftist and, though he has no thoughts of his own, he has always faithfully parroted the slogans of socialism. Is this how his friends reward his loyalty?

The most likely scenario is that Achma nut job will try to close the Straits of Hormuz. If he succeeded, it would bottle up almost 1/3 of the world's oil supply. The real concern is geopolitical, since the Western powers would be forced to respond and open the Strait. Russia is oil-independent, so it would most likely back Iran. China would likewise be happy to exploit the situation. Iran has very limited ability to project power, but it would still be a big battle and tensions in the Middle East could cause fall-out. Consider the assets that had to be committed just to take out Gaddafi's air force. Of course, the Iranians would not prevail, but these confrontations are a big drain on the West's resources in current economic conditions.
