Re: "the obesity epidemic" BMI

BMI is a general indicator and there will always be exceptions for individuals. However for the population as a whole it is a good general indicator.

Unless, of course you have statistics (lies and damned lies) to prove that about 60% of the population are highly trained muscle bound body builders with less than 10% body fat. Plus a peer reviewed study or two?

Thought not.

Your BMI is way too high.

Nah, BMI is a load of bollocks. Look at Geoff Capes.

Repeat after me "Muscle doesn't wobble and hang down over your nads!".
