Micheal hobbs and Aubrey gordon talk about the body mass index, better known as the b m. The podcast is on patrion at patrion dot com where you can buy tea shirts or just give us money for no reason. We did a whole episode on bommo stuff, and now we're doing one on beamy stuff.
The BMI is EVERYWHERE. But is it scientific or scientif-ish? While many Americans think of the body mass index as an objective measure of health, its history reveals a more complicated story. This week, Mike and Aubrey tackle the first in a two-part series about the BMI and the “Obesity Epidemic.” Along the way they visit 18th century Belgium, learn a gross new acronym and dissect Dracula's facial features.
