That's a big thing to watch for. We want people to have a BMI of 25 or less, but if you're black from Africa, you might be able to go up to 27 before we have to worry, ...

At a time when gasoline prices are skirting 3 per gallon, what will it take for the Bush administration and for Congress to wake up.
