I was at the store, paying for my groceries, and I noticed the black girl working behind the register was pregnant. I asked her when she was due, and she said "I'm not pregnant.".....she was just fat. 😕

Does that take into account that the BMI is actually a very very poor way of determining who's overweight and who isn't?

Somehow I doubt it.

If you start out at a BMI of 30....then it is a very GOOD way of determining that you are overweight. Your point could be argued at a BMI of 24 but definately not at 30. You are either fat at a BMI of 30 or you are caring a lot of muscle with veins popping out.

The argument that the BMI is useless becomes less and less viable at the ends of the index. Someone with a BMI of 15 is very very skiny. Someone with a BMI of 30 IS obese....unless they are toting some muscles.
