    6 feet 200 pounds equals 24 BMI that's overweight. Not far from Obese.

    6 feet 180 or less equals round about 18 or so BMI, per normal human range.

    And I think at 130 and below is underweight BMI.

    The other procedure is to dunk you into a full tank. Add up the water displaced and they will gain your fat volume besides.

    One of my relatives were in excess of 500. There is no need to do any thing, just look at him. And wait for his heart to fail to deliver oxygen around the body to keep him alive by 40. Then bury him after you cut him through the wall of his bedroom.

    The Crematorium had to wait until the Unit was in a certain situation for overall temperature because people that big tend to burn too hot in terms of kerosene equivilant content and damage it.

    The FMCSA took those guidelines DOWN! Medical Examiners should be doing an exam of the throat and asking questions about sleeping not becoming dictators demanding sleep studies just because a driver is fat. I have epilepsy and am being treated by a Physician that is part of a large practice that also has sleep specialists. We use the same waiting room. I have sit while waiting on an appointment looking at the guys coming and going with their CPAP machines in tow. At least 75% of these people are not heavy. You also see this same thing with heart problems. Everybody thinks it is heavy overweight people that have all the heart attacks. Hey, last time I saw a case of a heart attack was in the Veterans Hospital ER and that guy was almost a beanpole. Just saying!
