That's how Americans used to look when they were healthier. Now we try to reframe the narrative after everyone has become obese blobs.  [/quote]

I looked like that in my 20’s was called olive oil and wore size 8.

You aren’t making the point you think you are making.

My son’s skinny AF, his BMI is 25, he wears XL.

Suuuuure.. I'm sure your son has the body of a Greek god to throw off BMI.

Every mom of a fat kid never admits they're overweight but rather 'big boned'.  [/quote]

He’s a D1 athlete so.., your a sad human, eat some carbs it helps your brain work.[/quote]

Imagine being too stupid to understand basic statistics.

Ahhhhhh....DCUM. Where everyone has a BMI of 25+ yet no one is obese because they must be one or two sigmas away from the average body in terms of muscle mass.

Ha, yeah right.  I'm sure you're all hulking, fit beasts built like tanks with clear muscle definition to the point of striations and massive, solid bulk.

You are all delusional.  [/quote]

The delusion in these posts is mostly coming from middle aged women. That group at 25+ BMI is virtually always (like 95%, minimum) on the wrong side of body fat to muscle ratio. That’s just the reality of our species. One that’s easily objectively measured.

But when you have an objective measure where people don’t like the results, the answer is always to attack the measurement. [/quote]

Again, research shows BMI 26-27 is the healthiest. Sorry you don’t like that. [/quote]

DP. But what research says that?  I find that very hard to believe. I don’t pay any attention to my bmi, but I’m well aware that 25+ extra pounds is hard on any body. [/quote]

read the thread - it has been posted repeatedly. an extra 25lbs on older women is much healthier than being skinny. skinny and older is not a healthy combo. [/quote]

You mean the shape.com article that explicitly stated that the results were due to medical advances, not that being 25 pounds overweight is somehow now “healthy”?  Seems like someone struggled to read the article, and it was me. [/quote]

Lol yes.  26-27 BMI is healthiest when they can put you on a lifetime supply of statins and high blood pressure meds.

Lol 26-27 and you're fat.  No, you're not a body builder or NFL linebacker with huge mass.  Very few people are. And they need hours per week at the gym. Lifting very heavy weights. [/quote]
