"I'm not sure what you find "cute" about it. Its accurate and relevant information."

Because it involves straw man arguments. Accurate, maybe. Relevant? Not hardly.

It is another one of your fan dance posts. Or, "let's ignore the forest and focus on the trees. Say, look at that oak over there. Because we will discuss that oak, everything else is irrelevant...".

Because LBW is the issue. Either the babies are premies, or the are small for gestational age(SGA). Either way, they are at risk for very early death or for a variety of developmental disorders. And the US leads the developed world on that statistic. However, when you throw out those below middle class, the US averages get much closer to the top. In the medical community, the generally accepted reason is access to prenatal care. In your circles, I dunno. I doubt if they trump reality, but who the hell knows?
