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.

Maybe we don’t want to be thinking about this right before Thanksgiving 😀

This is my first time hearing your podcast and as a Registered Dietitian I've always agreed that using BMI across the board is totally flawed. I appreciate the resources listed! 👍
