I have a slew of problems with Huckabee’s BMI report cards for schoolkids, but I’ll just mention one this time. Physical activity and a proper diet are the keys to healthy weight. How many children, or their parents, are likely to respond to a high BMI score with diets and other methods instead of improving the quality of food and the quantity of activity?
We’ve discussed the weight and activity thing for a few years. See here, here, here, and here.
Side note: I guess Huckabee can kiss the fat vote goodbye, too.
