I have been watching a show called, "You are what you eat" It a fantastice show where a Dr. takes apart what someone eats and then tells them what they should be eating. It is a British show and peoples weight there is measured in "stones" so someone could be 20 stone over weight. What is a stone?

That is one of my favorite shows! I love how straight forward she is. She has certainly changed how I look at food. :)

Wow, I hope those people on the show are overweight at 20 stone, not 20 stone overweight above where they should be. That's 280 pounds!
