I saw this article about BMI and the increasing belief within the Medical profession, who are calling it the Baloney Mass Index, and think it’s out dated…

I posted this in the Body-Positive: We Are ALL Worthy (no diet or weight-loss talk) thread in October last year… http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...&postcount=105

One of my best friends is only slightly over weight and is Diabetic and has high Blood Pressure and has had for many years. She’s younger than me by 4 years and yet is very active. When I told her my blood results and BP she jokingly told me I was terrible….. She also told me not to let those results go to my head in the belief I could eat junk foods and get away with it, lol!

I wonder, how much of this is me being vegan for nearly 30 years and how much is my Genetics…?!
