[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend told me a bit about the history of BMI and who created it.  Thought other people might find it interesting.

Sort of like how math is somehow racist.

Not surprisingly, the author is “big boned.” [/quote]

Ok so you are have some issues.  I believe where the fat matters. Around the waist very bad but not so much on the hips.  My sibling who was always thin and had a very low BMI got stage 4 lung cancer.  So you can be unhealthy and sick and yet be thin.  Imagine that.

Of course! You can also be over weight and be healthy. That's how statistics work.  95% of obese people are UNHEALTHY.  That means 5% are healthy.  The stats are flipped for thin people.  Your sibling was in the 5% of thin unhealthy people.  I'm going to venture to guess your entire family has mental health issues that manifest around food and unhealthy habits (lack of exercise, smoking,  dinking, etc, etc) - that's why you're obese and your sibling is unhealthy.[/quote]
