    You make a compelling argument.

    One of my doctors eyeballed me last year and said I must be eating better than usual needed to watch it. I was not even thinking about it. But sometimes docs see so much of the little stuff.

    Some of you make good cases. It's hard to have a leg to stand on sometimes.

    Yeah, BMI is a joke. All it is, is the ratio of one number divided by another and indicative of nothing else. It's a supremely lazy way to measure someone's health, just the latest version of that "ideal weight" nonsense from back in the day. I posted this in another thread yesterday: Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, Vin Diesel and even Arnold Schwarzenegger are all considered "obese" according to BMI.
