As to the legislative side, does there NEED to be legislation in that regard? Use your head. All things in moderation. Even when money's tight we somehow manage to put balanced meals on the table.

It takes desire to take care of yourself, and no amount of political pandering can create that.

As to my weight? I hover around 200 pounds, give or take depending on what time of the year it is,I'm under 6', and can still do enough pushups to pass the army physical fitness test. They can take their BMI scale and....well.......
I remember hearing that the best 'push up' was the push up a person does when they move away from the dinner table.

I do like the sites where you can get an average 'snapshot' of what is supposed to be normal, but, there are a bunch of things that can impact your health/lifestyle.

When I go to see the DR. I do a bi monthy cholesterol test. While a BMI index or internet test can give you a baseline
idea of your physical health, nothing beats a good once over by a doc.
