BMI SMASH

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER STOP USING THE COCKING BMI AS A MEASUREMENT OF HEALTH YOU FUCKERS.

MY ANGER. SEE IT IN CAPS LOCK.

BUT IT IS CAPSLOCK FRIDAY. HOW WILL THEY KNOW YOU ARE ANGRY?

(What's that? You were expecting someone in the Child Measurement Programme to show some common sense?) xxx

She will no doubt become a six year old anorexic now that the whole country knows that she is "FAT".

As another of my friends would say, "The stupid, it burns like acidic spunk in the eye!"

Bloody BMI.

I love BMI as a measure of fatness. It means that despite an ever expanding waist-line I can pretend that I am not getting fat! Hurrah for BMI!

Ha ha, it's funny you mention that. We (ie, myself and the other 2 practice nurses) all took a stand last year and refused to enter BMI measurements when we did well person screening. Sure we'd happily do the weight and height measurements, but not BMI because it's a pile of sweaty bollocks. The health board didn't give a crap though!
