I'm similar to Jamaican. Which is very interesting. My daughter's father is Jamaican. I LOVE Jamaican food (grew up in South Florida); it is by far my favorite cuisine, and I love dancehall music.

I'm scared to ask but do they have a scale for where I am on the Global "old" scale? I imagine I'll come in as the older than a 100% of the people on Earth! Beam me up Don Ameche and the rest of the Cocoon crew!! I'm outa here:laugh:Just been on the BBC website this morning and saw an item I thought I would share.
Turns out I have below average fat for my country but above average globally.

Meh, BMI calculated from height and weight only.
22% puts me at Mali. (However, single-site caliper says ~14%...)
(...to which someone should definitely respond, "Meh, BMI calculated from single-site caliper reading only.")0 -
Well that made me want to kill myself.
