BMI isn't an indicator of health though, which is exactly what the study says. It's simply a measurement of body mass, which doesn't account for other factors

BMI is a good metric for populations as there are very few athletes at that elite level compared to obese people. At an individual level it can be misleading if you're an athlete with a high muscle to body fat ratio

Seems like 1950. Here's a excerpt from the Wikipedia article

Critics of the commission have pointed out it's many failings. In a 1989 article for the Ottawa Citizen, writer Sol Littman explained, the All-Party Parliamentary War Crimes Group of the British House of Commons found that screening was virtually “non-existent” for Ukrainian SS veterans who entered Canada in 1950. The SS veterans had been allowed into Canada from the U.K. based on false assurances that they were not war criminals. The Foreign Office lied to British parliament in 1947, that the SS volunteers had undergone “a very exhaustive screening process.” In a 1997 interview with 60 Minutes, Irving Abella stated that getting into Canada for SS members, was as easy as just showing their SS blood type tattoo which indicated that they were reliably anti-communist.

Yes! NEO TWEWY is the sequel and it was 14 years after the original release. The original on the DS is my favourite game of all time

A bleaker future is also great for them. People love voting for "strong" leaders with simple answers in tough times

Where in the article does it say she broke their dress code? Do you have a source?
