    @KIFulgore Dude, why would they want to use anything else? Either way, insurance companies are out to fuck the general public. It’s about money not honor or caring for others. The U.S. is all about it’s money and keeping the classic greed river flowing.

    You forgot to mention the main point of BMI: it is based on statistics. People with a BMI above 25 STATISTICALLY has more chances of health diseases than people with BMI of between 19 and 25. The statistics have been done for athletes and regular people. Is not a subjective thing. It is statistics. Even for athletic people, those with 25+ still get sick more often than those with less than 25.

    BMI should be between 19 and 25. You’re anorexic.

    BMI= crap.
    Why? because its extremely flawed. Fat % is better.
    BMI only takes into acount people who are not big boned, water heavy or musclar. its for average people only.

    Arnold swartinegars (misspled) BMI is extremly obese. but he is not

    Here’s an easier way to calculate ur BMI.
    Take your height in metres and square it, divide your weight in kg by this number.
    I have a BMI of about 16.5. Am I underweight?

  13. u2hubbard says:

    I thing the BMI is off. I’m atheletic at 6’0 and I weigh 200 but according to BMI I’m overweight. And I think it should be different for men and women, just like body fat percentage.

  14. DesertSmeagle says:

  15. Vik13vik says:

    Hmm I’m 70″ high and 30″ waist and I’m supposedly 14% BMI but according to the formula in this video I’m over 22% BMI. Strange…

  17. BFTiktaalik says:

    BMI is bullshit. It said Linford Christie was obese, hell I just did mine and it said I’m obese – yeah I am overweight, but not obese. Hell I can run a mile in 10 minutes, I do not consider myself obese. People get rejected for jobs in the military and police force based on this piece of shit, the government should stop using it.

  18. Muckilove says:
