[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.

You got me. I never conceived of thin people having cancer. Clown world.

What’s instructive here is that people continually feel compelled to bring up random unrelated anecdotes to divert from the reality that 1) BMI is a useful tool, and 2) there is nothing inherently healthy about a 27+ BMI-it’s the opposite. Those are the facts. [/quote]
