Very true. I dropped about 8 lbs this summer by doing nothing other than cutting most of the pure crap from my diet. (pop, sweets, and fast food).

BMI is a terrible way to determine healthy weight. That also would open an entire can of worms with what medical records the government can get ahold of, something that is far from necessary.

Also, am I the only one that isn't too surprised at this step? I mean, they've been starting these things up fairly frequently as of late, with the tobacco tax increase, and tickets for not wearing a seatbelt.
