I am shorting china
Because china was too stupid to pull the plug on its toxic US bonds and is still too dependent on fat obese Americans

I have invested heavily in pharma, medical, and junk food stocks

>American Medical Association asserts there are biological differences between races

Something tells me they are not going to pull this thread very far.

>>55343248
you've got it wrong. you need to short america and long china.

>asian people are short
Someone needs to shut down this blatant racism.

bmi isn’t racist. it’s bullshit

>>55343248
"white bodies"? I thought race was only skin color
Are you telling me having evolved from separate subspecies makes for different body shapes and possibly IQ?

BMI is racist. But it's also sexist. And ageist. And basically increasingly discriminatory the farther away one's body gets from its basis, which is an underfed 19th-century Frenchman. If you're a stick-like manlet with low lean muscle mass, congratulations, BMI is a good indicator of your health. For everyone else, simple waist size is a better indicator, and the optimal solution is to combine that measure with a holistic view of one's lifestyle.

Don't bump this dumb thread.

The problem with BMI is that it treats all mass the same. A lean, well-muscled man might have the same BMI as a flabby cow woman. So, by all means get rid of the BMI. The problem is that they will not replace it with something better. They will replace it with something worse or nothing at all because not only are Americans fat pigs, they are fat pigs who want to be told it is perfectly healthy to be fat pigs.

As for the BMI being racist, I'm not even sure what that means. But there is NO scientific evidence that being a fat pig is less of a health problem if you are black or hispanic than if you are white. Being a fat pig isn't even healthy for pigs. We just think they are tasty that way.

I wouldn't care except I end up paying for the health care of people who can't control their fork.

You are thinking of it backwards
Diabetes is such an issue in communities of the oppressed that they need stricter guidelines than whypeepo do

I like how they use Asians as an example of why it's flawed, while ignoring the actual black diabetic elephant in the room kek
The media really is astoundingly relentless.

BMI works great for average height people of average build. It serves its primary function of letting you know when you’re turning into a fat fuck. If you’re a bodybuilder you can safely disregard your BMI from a health standpoint. The roids you’re almost definitely taking are worse than a few extra lbs. But I’m absolutely not talking to the fat fuck powerlifters when I say bodybuilder.

is there anyone left who takes media seriously? I just can't imagine it with how bad its become. This article was probably written by a fucking AI anyway just to generate some traffic without having to pay anyone. The absolute state of the world kek

Let them all die, who cares.

You can literally reverse diabetes by fasting, drinking water, eating meats and vegetables, no bread unless it's rye or crackers.

>>55343248
Wait, are you telling me that races are not all the same?!

>>55344423
Fattie cope. BMI is fine as a measure of the general population. Powershitters need not apply

Wait now there's genetic differences between races? Physically? Perhaps even....including the brain? The chemistry? I thought that was racist and we're all the same under the skin?

In the 1800s people worked on farms, loomhouses and crappy factories. But somehow they still managed to marry prime teen pussy and party even though they were all broke and inflation ruined the greenbacks.
