That's what I've been sayin' for a LONG time now

BMI is crap for evaluating the individual. Welcome to my world.

Btw; notice if you will the brutal math VG unleashes in order to provide the means to calculate Body Mass Index. Epic fundamental arithmetic proficiency.

Yes, I can't believe that medical experts and insurance company uses BMI on individuals.
I've said it before, BMI is a good measure on a big population (like a country's obesity), because the data is often easily available and the statistical average evens out individual abnormalities.

Not before your comment...
But somebody needs to check their calculations. If not, I would love to see the person who's not severly underweight...
