Feeling faint? Do you get dizzy when you stand up? Maybe you suffer from low blood pressure. Finally there is an all-natural cure for it right here. Just watch this video:

See, wasn't that easy? The government is going to make sure that our kids get their BMI checked. Michelle Obama said that her pediatrician said to keep an eye on her daughter's BMI and she "wouldn't have known to ask for a screening on my own."
Hmmm. One of the things I like to do is translate the B.S. out there into what it really means. Here goes, Michelle, free of charge.
"My doctor said my daughter was getting fat, and I am too stupid to observe that on my own. In fact, I wouldn't have ever noticed if it had not been pointed out to me."
What the...?
I recently posted my before and current pictures here. Take a look at my then-current picture. Yeah, you can kinda make out my abs. BMI in that picture? 28.1! According to the BMI standards, I am seriously overweight, and just 1.9 points away from OBESE!
According to the BMI I would need to get down to 173 pounds to drop out of the overweight category. So take a close look at that picture and ask yourself if I really look 23 pounds overweight in that picture.
The BMI is useless, especially for kids! But luckily our government is going to take a useless standard and make it a guideline for action. Google around and you'll find the video of Michelle Obama saying that she wants to encourage doctors to not just measure BMI, but to start writing prescriptions.
Great.
Really, just great.
I may have to go see a doctor, I have blood squirting from my ears at this point.
