Oh, I am well aware. But it would not be difficult to implement a a better measurement standard. Hell, even something as dumbed down simple as Waist to Hip ratio is a better gross predictor of health. Belly Fat does not lie.

I get where you are coming from. People are too stupid to even understand BMI. Changing things will complicate the dumb even more.

It's pretty fucking obvious if you are fat/overweight. There are just a bunch of morons that think they need something to prove they are/aren't (that they then argue against saying its inaccurate because it does not work for a small portion of the population).

Thus, why this is in /s/fatpeoplehate. ;)
