BMI is complete Bullsh*t

Just checked my height and weight and calculated my BMI

To be considered normal, I think I was about 12 years old when I weight that little.

At 18, I had a BMI of 29.8. I was obese with a 34" waist?

No wonder half the country is considered overweight.

Yes.

Take a look at some old family pictures from the 'fifties or earlier.

Notice how skinny everybody looks?

That's because food was expensive in those days, and they did not eat for entertainment.

Gee, I have a BMI of 24.4. And I've just had two doctors tell me I need to put on weight. I can't wait to tell them what fools they are!
