[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for posting this. I've become increasingly frustrated with the focus on BMI both in the real world and on DCUM. It's fine for population studies. It's not useful for individuals. And I say this as a "thin" person for whom BMI makes me seem healthier than I am. I'm lucky my parents taught me relatively healthy eating habits, but I spent most of my life doing little to no strength training and now its catching up with me. We need to get away as a society from this idea that being thin automatically makes you healthy, and being "overweight" automatically makes you unhealthy. Especially when judging other people.[/quote]
