[quote=Anonymous]I have mixed feelings about this. I think all these things are true: 1) Doctors rely too much on obesity being the be all end all health problem source of a fat person and this results in bad care 2) For people in the 'normal' BMI category it can mask health problems unrelated to weight because they believe they are healthy 3) For people who are 36 BMI (like I was!) it can be a useful to be a really be a sure sign that you need to do something about it and for me personally I used the 'BMI doesn't matter' to blow past a lot of numbers I should have cared about. So like it isn't the be all and end all but I think it has its uses. [/quote]
