insurance company will now cover "heavy" babies

well thank ghod for that how damn charitable of them. and more importantly the baby's parents have brains in their heads and are not doing something stupid like starving him in the name of the ridiculously broken BMI which for some reason we still use despite its brokenness, rather than the more sensible set point theory.

(incidentally this study is also pretty broken - 47 women is NOT a sizeable enough data sample. just to start with.)

now if the rest of the world would catch up we might get somewhere.

(yes, i DO have an opinion, thanks for asking)
