      <![CDATA[The vast majority of people who have a BMI of over 30 are clearly obese.  To say the scale isn't accurate and therefore completely worthless because "you know this one guy who is all ripped and lifts weights and shit and has a BMI score of 30+" is ridiculous.  Physically fit people of this level will always be the exception to the rule.<br>
<br>
*This study brought to you by those who make money off of unhealthy, always-going-to-the-doctor fatties.

      <![CDATA[@stu, precisely! The BMI is a joke, and if the the study were correct (it is  not) Americans would have great longevity because this country is FAT! Some people will carry more body mass and fat due to genetics (and it is their natural predisposition) but being a outright fat ass is NOT at all helpful to your health, I wonder who sponsored this "study"
