[img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img] I have heard this may become a new quick standard for health insurance folks.
Now, I'm not into media hype, nor conspiracy theories, but...If the CDC is posting this, then placing a disclaimer it is not/should not be used as a single test for BMI all on the same site...Phht!

Anyhow, I guess I'm just plain Obese!
But not to worry, it does not take into account your OVERALL condition. Really? So, the HMO mafia is going to send someone to your house to investigate your OVERALL condition? Right.

6'1"
235 lbs
BMI=31 = Obese!

1.87M
108Kg
BMI=30.9 =Still Obese!

In order to be middle "normal" I can only weigh 180 lbs.
