What's your point? She didn't say the woman wasn't fat, she said she wasn't unhealthy. The fat on her body is not affecting her health, clearly. She also does not have a body shape that puts her at risk for heart disease (WHR).

The better question is, if high BMI is supposed to mean bad health, why is she healthy with a high BMI? Answer: The BMI does not measure health.

That's still very small. She has about 80 pounds on me and I'm about her height, I would have expected a larger waist measurement. Anyway, this is exactly the type of proof I wish I could wave in people's faces when I argue with them for insulting fat people—they always backpedal and start talking about how they're…

Interesting. It must be something like that, because weights really are impossible to guess.

Frame size varies largely. I look incredibly slim, but I am 5'5, 116, and fit, with a large frame. If I had a small frame or less muscle, I would look more soft at my weight (not that I wouldn't still be fairly slim).

Wow, your friend has a very small waist for her weight, which is probably one of the factors contributing to her overall good health!

My SO is 5'11" and weighs around 150 and is quite slim. Lanky even. What is wrong with your doctor?!

I will need something to clutch in my old age!

YES! Mid twenties, I have no clue what to do...

The trend has changed? Now, I'm worried. What if I date a new Adonis guy, and the trend swings back to waif? Do I starve him, neg him, or replace him?

If you had the vaccine for chicken pox (varicella) or had chicken pox yourself, you can not catch anything from someone with Shingles.

Oh good point about choourico! That sounds delicious (minus the lobster, but that's just me).

While I was not cooking at such a young age, I also did not eat that crap. I found it disgusting. Many of my friends loved it though...

I expected coffee milk for RI....parmesan? I know there are a lot of Italian restaurants, but wow..

Eggs are the reason a lot of people can't have mayo—I thought that was fairly common. I was with a friend who ordered a sandwich, no mayo (stating she was allergic). She sent it back when they brought it to her with mayo, reiterating her allergy. They brought it back, having just scraped it off the bun. If I had…

I agree with you, however, many Americans are covered as a benefit for their employment. For example, I get 3 weeks paid sick time, temporary disability, personal days, vacation days, etc. It is our poorest citizens that lack these things, sadly...

All he needed was a more colorful tie—I think he looks good in it. He would have looked awesome had he picked a more colorful tie.

Nice, more to add to the ever-growing list of requirements to be conventionally attractive.

Pretty sure Leviticus says different...

I have worked with many white people in the criminal justice system who survived to be charged with assault on a police officer....
