It was a few years back that the definition of obese was changed in the US. It knocked Michael Jordan in to the OBESE catagory at a time when he was still actively playing pro ball.

The humor here is it's hard to imagine a group of men wanting to look at more pictures of classified-obese women, but . . . :-)

Tom Brady's adorable. But I must be getting old. He is adorable like a 'young man', like 'bake him cookies!' and not like a 'yowza, he can eat cookies in MY bed'. Geez, is it really age that does this to a woman? 'Cause my hormones are only 10x as active since lowcarb improved my health, and way more active than in my younger years. Still, I mostly want to pat him on the head and make dinner. I think there is something really wrong with me.

"According to the federal government's one-size-fits-all Body Mass Index, NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Brett Favre are "obese." Now that's just wrong, says the Center for Consumer Freedom. "These NFL stars, and many ordinary Americans, have fallen victim to the BMI Index, which is the same measure used by the government to claim that 65 percent of Americans are overweight or obese."

I think I need to study Brett up close and personal to test this whole BMI thing. Ooohhhh BREEETTTTTTT!
