Yeah that's the hydrostatic body composition test - which, yes is far more accurate than the scales you can buy, but it's still not great (decent article: http://weightology.net/weightologywee…).

I ask that you do a PubMed search for obesity and its comborbidities. Simply because obesity wasn't labeled as a disease until recently does not mean that it hasn't long been identified as being tied to a variety of other medical conditions. Your suggestions that eye color or skin color being defined as diseases that…

There isn't really any good way to accurately determine body fat %. Even the most accurate tests can be wildly inaccurate / influenced by a number of factors that have nothing to do with true body fat. As I've heard stated, the only true way to determine BF % is at autopsy ;)

Because excessive weight has comorbidity with a variety of health issues and skin color does not? While it's fine if you want to say on the individual level you cannot say with 100% certainty that someone is healthy / unhealthy based simply on height and weight (although I would argue that once one is into the "obese"…

Really, far more evidence? What evidence would that be exactly? Please give examples of studies showing where being moderately underweight has a significantly larger detriment to one's life than being moderately overweight, because I really have to doubt their existence.

I can't star this comment enough. Every time I hear a Fun song, I immediately want to go listen to my old Format albums

No, what that statement directly implies is essentially "this show uses nudity in this way. It is unclear to me how your show is using nudity, can you please explain." Nowhere in there is the statement that "because you don't arouse me, I don't understand why you're using nudity." As he expressed, using nudity is an…

And I'm sure that that response is entirely devoid of any bias, right? If you read his article there's a good explanation as to what he was trying to get at with the question.

"if women continue to disproportionately leave work, go part-time, or take a "mommy track" to raise kids."

"You're sharing the burden of potential pregnancy with a dude instead of carrying it alone"

I find lines like this a bit disingenuous. I know as many females who are on birth control as a means to alleviate particularly painful / uncomfortable periods as I know females who are on birth control specifically as a means…

got some reference for that? or you just talking out of your ass, like the majority of the rest of your comments here.

are you serious with this?

What you just said is not supported by studies looking at just that. The fact is, it doesn't really matter over such short windows of time.

Sorry, but the majority of the sports-watching population disagrees with you. Growing up in CT, where UConn basketball is pretty much our "pro" sports, and where the women UConn team is generally more successful than the men, I've watched a lot of women's BBall vs. men's BBall. There is no way you can argue that the…

chicken, rice, and pasta (and beans, and lots of other things to be honest). you can eat healthy on the cheap if you really want to.

actually you can't say that...seeing as that would have it end up the same place it started...

we're not talking about food...

he's an evolutionary psychologist, which explains a lot (the whole field of evolutionary psychology is full of poor logic and silly theories)

And you think this isn't the case for those European bodies? The fact of the matter is that there have been several cases where the FDA's more stringent process for reviewing potential drugs has kept things that were approved in Europe and then later found to be harmful out of the American market.

OSX vs. Windows market share would disagree with you
