This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"overweight" is a serperate medical category to "obese"

Ok, but just like BMI, those categories include neither muscle nor bone mass.

That matters in the individual case, but not in the aggregate, unless we've any reason to assume americans have particularly dense BONES

I mean general guidence for parents was to force feed your child a gallon of milk every morning until like 2015 so they would grow up to have denser bones.

This is not satire btw.
