NZ bans Brit immigrant's overweight missus

Read the quote AC

Anonymous coward - read the quote before slagging it off :-) The quote says not everyone who is overweight is unfit, not obese.

Anyway, for myself my BMI is 31.5 - I`d have to lose 50 pounds to get to the "correct" weight according to BMI. I`m a bit overweight, I could stand to lose a stone maybe, but to lose 3.5 stone would leave me looking seriously unhealthy! I`m 6 foot 2 tall with a nice stocky build, legs like tree trunks and personally I wouldn`t have it any other way! BMI is a seriously knackered tool to determine someones health, it only works for people of average height who are average build.
